The Kerry Way is genuinely spectacular with a wide variety of terrain, opening to us the natural beauty of Ireland. From Killarney National Park to remote valleys, rugged mountains, historical sites and wild seacoasts, this path is a true gem, wholly within County Kerry in southwest Ireland. Our route covered 110 miles over 10 days including a rest day (“rest” is used loosely here) during which we visited the rugged Skellig Michael Island. Remember to click the links within the text!
