Killarney National Park

Reviewed By thewarrensDublin - Dublin, Ireland

Spent a wonderful couple of hours walking around this Park! it has really spectacular views of the surrounding area I'm beautiful red deer wandering around very close to you. it is a "must visit" place when you are in Killarney and parts of it are located right beside the centre of Killarney.

Conor Pass

A scenic stretch of land surrounded by rugged coastline.

Reviewed By MartletwyOnTour - Wales, United Kingdom

Talk about 'WOW'! The drive up heading north/south was steady and pleasant and then we got to the pass itself which is indeed narrow and right on the cliff edge! My friend who was driving loved it and the challenge - I just looked right away from the sheer drop alongside us! Completely worth it though of course because as soon as we reached the car park at the summit of the road path, the views back across the valley were quite simply breathtaking! Then a pleasantly steady descent down into Dingle to steady the nerves!!

Slea Head Drive

Scenic drive from Dingle Town to the Dingle Peninsula and back.

Reviewed By Scotlandmac - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Loved this area, along with Connemara, our favourites of a week's driving tour. As a big Ryan's Daughter fan, I was thrilled to visit, again after 25 years, this area made famous in the film.Some wonderful coastal views, all feels more open and quieter than the R of K, much shorter of course. Glad we made the 2 hour + journey from St Finan's Bay to enjoy it all again. Some fine archaeological sites too. Highlight is the small spectacular beach of Dunquin. Last time, we also got over to Great Blasket island, a fine trip in itself.

Dingle Peninsula

Reviewed By pupumann0 - Ballycastle, United Kingdom

Cant believe this is my first review of anything dingle related - it truest must be on everyone’s bucket list - the peninsula is very rugged and rural full of beautiful vistas and landscapes and peppered with ancient ogham stones cairns and clachan! And around every corner a wonderful country pub or eatery ! Go south out of Dingle as road is narrow and mostly people use this clockwise road route ;-) slea head is a highlight look out for off road historic sites We visited the group if ogham ancient stones at Colaiste Ide just outside Dingle town at Ventry ! A true highlight not to be missed is the visit to the blanket island interpretive Centre , amazing design very thought provoking and a place for mindfulness and delicious home made food in their cafe mmm rhubarb crumble :-) Everywhere you drive there are remnants of old so photo opportunities everywhere ! No wonder they filmed Star Wars there ! Just go !

Ring of Kerry

Reviewed By Z1413RXjenniferd - San Diego, United States

How can I put this stretch of road and coast into words? Just breathing, magical, peaceful, beautiful, quiet, magnificent.... Take your time when driving and stop at all things you see. So much to take in. Take plenty of licsture but take moments to close your eyes, breathe and be in the moment. So many fun things along the way and even made some new friends
