The Ring of Kerry is a 179-kilometre circuit of the Iveragh peninsula, taking in mountain passes, beaches, stone forts and views out to the Skellig islands. Coaches drive it anticlockwise, so going the other way or starting early avoids the convoys. Killarney National Park at the eastern end holds the lakes, waterfalls and old woodland.
