The Ring of Kerry is a feast for the eyes. Here are some of its most unforgettable sights:
- Dingle Bay: A vibrant blue inlet famed for its resident dolphin, Fungie, and its picture-postcard villages.
- Macgillicuddy Reeks: This range holds Ireland's highest peak, Carrantuohill, a challenging yet rewarding climb for experienced hikers.
- Moll's Gap: Enjoy breathtaking mountain vistas from this panoramic viewpoint.
- Ladies View: A favorite of Queen Victoria, this stop lives up to its name with sweeping views of mountain peaks mirrored in lakes.
- Lakes of Killarney: These three tranquil lakes nestled in Killarney National Park are ideal for exploring by boat or on foot.
Overcoming Driving Hesitations
The Ring of Kerry's winding, sometimes narrow roads can be intimidating for visitors unused to driving on the left side of the road. It's also easy to miss subtle details when you're focused on navigating. If this sounds daunting, don't worry! A truly relaxing way to experience the magic of the Ring is on a comfortable train journey.
