We went on tour of Ireland in 2005 and one of my favorite spots was circling the Rings of Kerry.....We were in a tour bus and listening to Irish music playing as we bumped along the narrow roads. I loved all the greenery and sheep. It was such a pleasant experience. Would so love to go back some year, very... more

If you're visiting the Ring of Kerry don't bother to stop at Portmagee, especially if you are there to sample the Moorings bar! The Moorings has to have been one of the worst pubs I went to in Ireland; the staff are grumpy and rude, the food was awful and expensive!

Some of the most spectacular scenery is found along the coast between Portmagee and Ballinskelligs, places most tours... more

IRELAND’S RING OF KERRY We had set aside the whole day to travel the 110-mile Ring of Kerry, a scenic journey around the Iveragh Peninsula in Ireland. Our journey took us through remote and secluded areas, many seemingly untouched by the passing of time. Despite clouds and rain, our travel provided us spectacular beauty and insight into Irish heritage. We... more
