"Breathtaking Views at Every Turn" Top 5 Page for this destination Ireland Favorite Tip by Goner

Favorite thing: The Ring of Kerry is a 110-mile drive that can be taken in a day. There is so much to enjoy: Muckross Estate that covers 26,000 acres; Torc Falls tumbling down into the misty green; trickling creeks; 4,000 year-old Staigue Fort teeming with ancient mystery; lakes of cold and silent waters; hills and gaps with tranquil beauty; and fall colors of russet and amber. At one turn you will see sandy beaches with little cottages nestled in the hills nearby, then you can see far out islands in the ocean and then you may see a field of sheep (or sheep in the road).

The road is winding and can be stressful, but being able to take frequent stops to see these breathtaking views make driving it worthwhile.

Fondest memory: Ireland is unique in it's landscape, nothing I have seen to date can compare. There is an ambience of quiet contentment (but, then we went in the fall when there are very few tourists).
