Step onboard! We know this popular route inside out. Contrary to popular myth, the Ring of Kerry is not an actual ring that you can wear. The Ring of Kerry is Ireland's most popular scenic tourist region for a reason! You'll stay firmly off the beaten path and away from all the traffic and queues.

You can get some lunch there or do what we did and pull over and make a picnic lunch with some awesome views! Another cool fort you can check out. But to make things easier, a large car park has been established here and this is where the coaches pull in. Another cool fort to check out that dates back to the 9th century.
In Irish mythology, this represents the burial spot of the wife of Sceine who was the Milesian bard-magician Amergin. Apparently she died at sea just before they invaded Ireland They even have the right to hold a Charlie Chaplin themed comedy festival every year!
But anyway, this is included as a nod to my now passed away grandmother who was obsessed with him, and she would have loved to have visited his birthplace. As I mentioned earlier on, the Dingle Peninsula is another beautiful drive in Ireland actually probably my favourite! The ruins of a 6th century Abbey which makes for a good photograph and an interesting history point. Recreating traditional Irish thatched houses, this unique museum focuses on local Irish history and culture.
They Kerry Cliffs are located in Portmagee. If you remember, this is where Rey found Luke Skywalker living. This is definitely one of the unique things to do on the Ring of Kerry route and if you have the time and money, I highly recommend. I actually only mentioned one beach above, but there are lots of other beaches that you will discover when driving the Ring of Kerry.
The roads are lined with insanely large rhododendrons. The mountains continue as you drive through Molls Gap. This entire section was one of our favorite spots on the Ring of Kerry.
Follow the turnoff and drive 2. The Staigue Fort is one of the largest stone forts in Ireland. Continue the drive through Caherdaniel. If you are interested, take a detour to Derryane to visit the Derrynane House. As you arrive at the western edge of the Inveragh Peninsula, the views open up to the Atlantic Ocean and the Skellig Islands. Our photos do not do this justice, since it was so overcast and rainy on our drive. Enjoy the views and the quick drive through Waterville.
Past Waterville, follow the signs for the Skellig Ring Road. The road narrows here and the views get a little more dramatic. You get to escape the tour buses, since the Skellig Ring Road is too narrow for oversized vehicles.
For another quick detour, complete with the ruins of a castle with beach views, take the turnoff for Ballinskelligs Castle. Skelligs Chocolate, located right on the Skellig Ring Road, is a great place to satisfy your sweet tooth. For the most stunning view on the Ring of Kerry, this is your spot.
This is a gorgeous spot. We skipped this on our first loop of the Ring of Kerry. On a separate day, we took the day trip out to Skellig Michael, and fortunately had much clearer weather. After Skellig Michael, we came back to this viewpoint, which is why these photos are brilliantly sunny. By the way, if you are looking for a unique experience, consider the day trip out to Skellig Michael.
Skellig Michael is a remote island and home to an ancient monastery and Puffin nesting site. It was one of our highlights while in Ireland and we highly recommend it. This adorable town is where the boats to Skellig Michael dock. We ate at the cozy Moorings restaurant. Need a bathroom break? Cross the bridge onto Valentia Island. The Skellig Experience Centre teaches visitors about the history of the monks on the Skellig Islands.
