County Kerry sits at the southernmost tip of Ireland and possesses many of Ireland’s highest points. It is also enriched with fine beaches, wonderful valleys and Islands not too far from its shoreline. The people of Kerry truly have their own unique approach to taking it easy and are very welcoming and friendly. Most pubs in the towns along the Kerry Way offer live Irish Music.

The trail starts and finishes in the busy tourist destination of Killarney, passing through its fine National Park. Looping around the Iveragh Peninsula, the Kerry the kerry way, Ireland goes anticlockwise, passing through some of the most isolated and dramatic countryside in the country.

​

Whilst Kerry is renowned for having the highest mountains in Ireland, the Kerry Way avoids the higher peaks and opts for the lower reaches of mountain ridges. The trail is intended to quickly progress through a variety of different landscapes and experiences, giving the walker a wider appreciation for the county

​

Killarney is the starting/end point of the Kerry Way. This beautiful little town sits at the top end of the Iveragh peninsula and is a gret place to start from. The town itself is alive with Irish music in the evenings with many fine restaurants and places to visit. I would recommend an extra day to spend here.

​

The accommodation we use for the Kerry Way is right at the heart of this town and walking distance from most attractions.
