Iveragh Peninsula Walking Holidays

The Iveragh Peninsula carries both the Ring of Kerry road and the Kerry Way, a waymarked route of roughly 200 kilometres on old drove roads and green lanes. You cross the Windy Gap, climb above the Black Valley and look out to the Skelligs from Bolus Head. Villages such as Glenbeigh, Cahersiveen and Sneem break the walking days. The MacGillycuddy’s Reeks fill the skyline inland; April to October is the practical walking season, with heather colouring the hills in late summer.
