Killarney and the Gap of Dunloe
A magnificent round trip over quiet Ballaghbeema Pass and through Moll's Gap leads you on a day tour through Killarney National Park past the famous lakes into Killarney town and further on to the Gap of Dunloe. The scenery is breathtaking and can best be enjoyed by foot on many marked walks or with jaunting cars waiting near Kate Kearney's Cottage to take you through the Gap with its beautiful views!
For another, longer day tour join the Ring of Kerry near Glenbeigh and follow the scenic coast road through Waterville to Kenmare.
