Description
County Kerry seen from the walking trail.
The Kerry Way leads you through a landscape of valleys, mountains, and coastal views on the Iveragh Peninsula. The route offers different perspectives than the Ring of Kerry scenic drive, with trails, farm tracks, and smaller villages forming important parts of the experience. The area around Killarney provides a rich start and end to the journey.
Ten stages around the Iveragh Peninsula.
The approximately 190-kilometer circular route is described counter-clockwise from Killarney. Ten stages provide a natural basis for a holiday of about a week and a half, but can be adapted to individual plans. The book also offers suggestions for detours and other experiences if you wish to spend more days in the area before or after the walk itself.
Route descriptions and practical choices.
Maps and descriptions help you follow the route through varied terrain, while planning information makes it easier to organize the stages. The guide covers opportunities in the Killarney area and on the peninsula, among other topics. Route suggestions outside the main trail provide a broader picture of Kerry, but have varying requirements regarding weather, logistics, and experience.
For those who wish to experience Ireland at walking pace.
The Kerry Way is suitable for reasonably experienced walkers prepared for several consecutive days outdoors. The Atlantic climate brings changeable weather, and rain is possible year-round. Use the book to plan realistic stages and choose detours according to your own abilities, ensuring both the coastal landscape and local communities receive the time they deserve.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
