The Kerry Way

The Iveragh Peninsula or Ring Of Kerry, the middle of the three south- western peninsulas, is a popular tourist route. The Kerry Way takes you walking across it, as well as around it and only occasionally will you meet the tourists! You will also have a chance to meet local people in the villages where you are staying. The Kerry Way is a route of 215km (135miles) and the 8 day trail starts at Glenbeigh and finishes in Killarney. It is varied and interesting walking.
The 12 day trail starts in the famous town of Killarney and walks through Killarney National Park and over the Lakes of Killarney to the remote Black Valley and Glencar. Rhododendron forests, old oakwoods and along the foot of Ireland's highest mountains to Glenbeigh where you meet day 5-8 of the 8 day tour.

The Kerry Way is one of the first established Waymarked Ways. It follows old green roads, and mountain trails. There will be approximately 40% walking on quiet country roads as it is not always possible to walk in open hills. It is reasonably well signposted with wooden or plastic yellow markers and road signs.
