Walking the Kerry Way
The Kerry Way, a low-level walking route, uses the
old droving paths and coach roads of the Iveragh
Peninsula to create a journey through history and
folklore. Spectacular views, combined with rare
flora and fauna, geology and bird-watching will be
appreciated by all, whether amateur or enthusiast.
On the tour, you walk four of the many attractive
sections of the Way and also a beach walk. With an
experienced guide at hand, all you have to do is
walk tall and enjoy a unique Irish Welcome!

Early Christian period; Small Skellig is equally renowned in
matters of ornithology as the home of some 27,000 pairs of
gannets – the second largest colony of such seabirds in
the world. We can help organise boattrips from nearby
Portmagee.
