This loop of approximately 180 kilometers circles the Iveragh Peninsula, passing lakes, mountains, beaches, and colorful villages. Here are the must-see stops, the recommended direction, and our local agency&#039;s tips for enjoying the drive without the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bs-reponse-express wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In short:<\/strong> The Ring of Kerry is a loop of approximately 180 kilometers starting in Killarney, in southwest Ireland. Without stops, the drive takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes; with visits, a full day, and ideally two. Key stops include Killarney National Park, Ladies View, Kenmare, Sneem, Derrynane, the Skellig Ring, and Glenbeigh. Coaches travel counter-clockwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"brightside-cta-intro\" style=\"margin:24px 0;padding:18px 20px;background:#faf8f0;border-left:4px solid #384229;border-radius:6px\"><div style=\"margin:0 0 10px;color:#1b1f13\"><strong>Fancy a trip to Ireland?<\/strong> Our on-site experts design your <a style=\"color:#384229;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/destination\/tailor-made-trip-to-ireland\/\">tailor-made trip to Ireland<\/a>, at your own pace.<\/div><div style=\"margin:0 0 10px;color:#1b1f13\">Our stay <a style=\"color:#384229;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/travel\/wild-ireland-from-wicklow-to-the-landscapes-of-kerry\/\">Wild Ireland: From Wicklow to the landscapes of Kerry<\/a> is a good base, fully adaptable to your needs.<\/div><div style=\"margin:0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/request-a-quote\/?destination=voyage-irlande-sur-mesure\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#384229;color:#ffffff;font-weight:600;padding:12px 22px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none\">Get my free quote<\/a> <span style=\"font-size:.9em;color:#555;margin-left:8px\">Free and without obligation<\/span><\/div><div style=\"margin:12px 0 0;font-size:.9em;font-style:italic;color:#555\">\u00abEmmanuelle found us a last-minute solution.

Before setting off, visit the national park first, with Muckross House, Torc Falls, and the lakes. Those feeling more active can also explore the Gap of Dunloe on foot, by bike, or by horse-drawn carriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ladies View and Moll&#039;s Gap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South of Killarney, the road climbs towards Ladies View, a viewpoint overlooking the lakes named after a visit by Queen Victoria&#039;s ladies-in-waiting. Further on, the Moll&#039;s Gap pass offers a panorama of the MacGillycuddy&#039;s Reeks mountains, the highest in Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kenmare and Sneem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kenmare is a pretty little town with colorful facades, ideal for a lunch break. Further on, the village of Sneem, bisected by a river, charms with its pastel houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Derrynane and Caherdaniel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, the coastline becomes spectacular. Derrynane Park combines white sand beaches with the house of Daniel O&#039;Connell, a figure in Irish history. On a clear day, the turquoise water never fails to impress visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Waterville and the Skellig Ring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Waterville, a statue pays tribute to Charlie Chaplin, who spent his holidays there. Also, don&#039;t miss a detour via the Skellig Ring, a small road leading to Portmagee, Valentia Island, and the Kerry Cliffs, opposite the Skellig Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cahersiveen, Glenbeigh and Rossbeigh<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the north coast, Cahersiveen retains circular stone forts. Finally, the long beach at Rossbeigh, near Glenbeigh, offers a last break before the return to Killarney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which direction should I choose for the Ring of Kerry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tour coaches travel counter-clockwise from Killarney towards Killorglin. Many drivers therefore follow the same direction to avoid clashing coaches on narrow sections of road. To avoid the crowds, however, leave early in the morning, before the excursions depart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driving is on the left, on roads that are sometimes winding. Read our tips for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/car-rental-england-scotland-ireland\/\">rent a car in Ireland<\/a> before leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skellig Michael: the excursion apart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Off the coast of Portmagee, Skellig Michael Island is home to a medieval monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site made famous by Star Wars. Landings are very limited and only operate during the summer months, generally from mid-May to September, weather permitting. Therefore, book your boat several months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long and when to leave?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Formula<\/th><th>Duration<\/th><th>For whom?<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Express loop<\/td><td>Approximately 3 hours 30 minutes drive<\/td><td>For a simple overview<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full day<\/td><td>8 to 10 hours including stops<\/td><td>The recommended minimum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Two days<\/td><td>Overnight stay in Kenmare, Waterville or Portmagee<\/td><td>For the Skellig Ring and the beaches<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best time to travel is from May to September, with long days. However, the road is much quieter in spring and autumn. To compare the seasons, consult our guide. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/when-to-go-to-ireland\/\">when to go to Ireland<\/a>, or our guide to the\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/ireland-in-winter\/\">Ireland in winter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ring of Kerry or Dingle Peninsula?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ring of Kerry is longer and more varied, with its lakes and mountains. The Dingle Peninsula, just to the north, is shorter and wilder. If you have the time, do both, as in our itinerary. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/ireland-10-day-itinerary\/\">Ireland in 10 days<\/a>.

Adding the Skellig Ring adds about 30 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it possible to do the Ring of Kerry in one day?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but the day is quite full. Two days, however, allows you to enjoy the beaches and the Skellig Ring without rushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it possible to drive the Ring of Kerry without a car?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, coach tours depart daily from Killarney during the season. You can also cycle part of the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to sleep on the Ring of Kerry?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Killarney is the most convenient base. Kenmare, Waterville and Portmagee, however, offer quieter accommodation in the heart of the loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"brightside-en-bref\" style=\"margin:20px 0 24px;padding:16px 20px;background:#faf8f0;border-left:4px solid #384229;border-radius:6px\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 6px;font-weight:700;color:#384229\">In summary<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px\"><li>A loop of approximately 180 kilometers around the Iveragh peninsula, starting from Killarney.<\/li><li>Key stops: Ladies View, Kenmare, Sneem, Derrynane, Skellig Ring and Rossbeigh.<\/li><li>Allow a full day, ideally two.<\/li><li>Skellig Michael: boats from mid-May to September, book early.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-small-font-size\">Cover photo: Gerd Eichmann, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le Ring of Kerry est la route panoramique la plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bre d\u2019Irlande.
