In fact, the ring itself is around 180km long, and can be covered by car, bus or even by bike for the more athletic riders! (who don't mind steep hills). Don't forget to fill up before you leave, as there aren't petrol pumps everywhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">But before you set off along the Ring of Kerry, be aware that the roads can be winding, narrow and steep. There are a lot of tourists on the roads, and some places can be tricky! That's why we'd also advise you to travel clockwise through the Ring, and to set off early in the morning or at the end of the day. (less road traffic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">For hikers, there is a circuit of over 200km, called the \"<em>Kerry Way<\/em>\"starting from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.guide-irlande.com\/localisation\/killarney\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Killarney<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-8e6c785\" data-block-id=\"8e6c785\"><style>.stk-8e6c785 {margin-bottom:50px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Discovering this peninsula will allow you to discover the calm and charm of Ireland's landscapes, and to rub shoulders with lakes, rivers and the North Atlantic Ocean from the different viewpoints along the way.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-b93ad76\" id=\"2-le-killarney-national-park-en-irlande\" data-block-id=\"b93ad76\"><style>.stk-b93ad76 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">2. Killarney National Park in Ireland<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">There are parking areas along the way where you can stop (and take some much-needed photos!!). You'll be able to see the Kerry mountains, Ireland's highest peaks, including Carrantuohill (for experienced hikers only), and don't miss the view of Killarney national park (panoramic above) just past Muckross House. This photo was taken from a spot called Ladies View. Named after Queen Victoria and her ladies-in-waiting stopped here because she was so taken with the view!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-b41fea3\" data-block-id=\"b41fea3\"><style>.stk-b41fea3 {margin-bottom:50px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-b41fea3-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-6c2db64\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"6c2db64\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-6c2db64-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-6c2db64-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-9578dca stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"9578dca\"><style>.stk-9578dca .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;font-size:12px !important;}.stk-9578dca {background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;box-shadow:0px 70px 90px -20px rgba(72, 73, 121, 0.30) !important;}.stk-9578dca:before{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-9578dca .stk-img-figcaption{font-size:12px !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-258757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Muckross-house.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"Muckross house\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Muckross-house.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Muckross-house-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\"><em>Muckross house, Kerry, Ireland<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-9b16640\" id=\"3-kenmare-bay-partie-sud-de-lanneau\" data-block-id=\"9b16640\"><style>.stk-9b16640 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">3.

There are a few houses, a nice hotel\/pub and a lovely view to take a break! You'll be just over halfway along the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">If you've started the tour in a clockwise direction, the northern part of the ring is generally easier to drive, as the road is much better. As it's been about 3 hours on the road so far (including stops), it's always nice to know that the hardest part is over!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">So much for what seemed to me to be the most important thing to describe about the Ring of Kerry. In the same vein, I think that a 4th article will be necessary to cover the whole of the Ring of Kerry. <strong>the Dingle Peninsula, and the famous lakes of Connemara! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">See you soon for more Irish adventures, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/the-connemara-ireland-4\/\">and article #4<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Photographically yours,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">David<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kerry ring, a must for photographers and travellers in Ireland!<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5864,"featured_media":258754,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[354],"tags":[957],"class_list":["post-239863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-voyage","tag-irlande","post_format-post-format-image"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5864"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
