This is one of our most popular independent walking holidays
- and for very good reason. The Kerry Way has it all
along its 110 mile length. The walk takes you from the
lush vegetation of the Killarney National Park, past
the majestic peaks of the MacGillacuddy Reeks, along
coastal paths overlooking Dingle Bay to the golden sands
of Waterville and Derrynane. This part of Ireland is
rich in history, myth and legend, and also has an abundance
of local flora and fauna – including the Irish Red
Deer.
The walk is primarily along the renowned Kerry Way, allowing
you to carry out an almost complete circuit of the Iveragh
Peninsula. Your route crosses hills, valleys and some rocky
mountain passes. However you never venture to the heights of
the Reeks where serious rock and mountain climbing can be had.
Instead you walk along a network of forested and moss-lined
paths, open bog, moorland, past island-studded mountain lakes
and waterfalls and along coastal paths. Every day of your holiday
you experience different aspects of the remarkable and varied
countryside before returning to the warmth of your new hostelry
each evening. |
