We did this walk with our three daughters. Very moderate walking conditions - very pretty scenery. Easy to follow directions outlined throughout. We had the QR codes provided at each information point which gave us an audio commentary of various points of interest along the way. The Fairy Trail was an unexpected surprise. Very enjoyable

A magical fairy trail through the woodlands of Darrynane House, where young visitors can discover miniature houses where fairies live. This is a free attraction and open throughout the year.

Gorgeous little walks and pic nic spot perfect for a stop off while exploring Dingle peninsula. Long walk up the mountain and boarded walk around the lake. Suitable for kids and no need for walking boots. Runners (and a waterproof) will do the trick nicely!

We started our journey of by parking at Cronin's Yard for 2 euros and excitedly started our hike up Ireland's highest mountain. I will say that it is a long hike and certainly proper hiking boots and kit essentials are recommended as the weather wasn't the greatest for our hike. But don't let this put you off, if you have the hiking gear and experience behind you, this is a brilliant hike. Trails are easy enough to follow and you'll be sure to have hikers in front or coming along behind you but it is not busy. The walk to the bottom of the Devil's Ladder is a great way to get the legs moving before a tough ascent and when up out of the Devil's Ladder it's up to the right and towards the peak. We descended down the Devil's Ladder and returned back to our car feeling exhilarated. We did have sore legs the next day but well worth it

Did the Dingle Way from Tralee to Dunquin last month and wish I was closer because this would become a very regular visit for me. The scenery was stunning - raw and beautiful. I was slightly after season I think, so on my 4 days hiking I literally only saw 1 group of 3 others on the trail which offered incredibly peace and solitude. Dingle town was definitely a highlight; a quaint, colorful, lively and charming small town with cute shops, good bars and restaurants. Used Ireland Walk Hike Bike for organizing and was very pleased, although the BnB used in Annascoul could have been better. The trail itself was a litte more difficult than I expected, but very doable if you're in moderate condition. A bit more rocky, muddy and hilly than I was prepared for (it'd been raining quite a bit making a couple of sections extremely muddy and tough), but I just took it slow in the harder sections. Because of all the rain my host drove me around the creek on the part leaving Camp village to avoid any problems crossing. Generally the trail is well marked although having the map/gps provided by IWHB definitely saved me from too much time lost tracking back on a couple of missed turns. There are some super cute places to stop along the way on some sections (Sammy's on Inch Beach, Teac Couminole café just before Dunquin, Junction Bar/restaurant and Railway bar in Camp). If you want an outdoor-sy, walking/hiking oriented trip I think Dingle Way/Kerry Camino should be on your list.

The Ring of Kerry takes you around some spectacular scenery form towering cliffs to remote villages and lush lakes. Stunning and amazing.
