The Ring of Kerry is a tourist trail in County Kerry, south-western Ireland. The route covers the 170 km circular road (N70, N71 and R562), starting from Killarney around the Iveragh peninsula; it passes through Kenmare, Sneem, Waterville, Cahersiveen and Killorglin. Tourist attraction points are, among others, Muckross House (near Killarney), Staigue Fort and Derrynane House, home of Daniel O'Connell.
There is also an established Ring of Kerry walking path which takes its own route and a signposted Ring of Kerry cycling path which uses older quieter roads where possible.
Also there are numerous variations to the route taking in St Finian's Bay and Valentia Island which the official driving ring misses (the official cycling route takes in Valentia island).
