County Kerry's Unmissable Highlights

County Kerry encompasses the Wild Atlantic Way’s most prominent landmarks, from the UNESCO-listed Skellig Monastery to the Iron Age drystone masonry of Staigue Fort. The region is defined by the mountainous terrain of the Conor Pass and the 300-meter-high Kerry Cliffs. Coastal highlights include the five-kilometer sand spit at Inch Beach and the early Christian architecture of the Gallarus Oratory. These sites represent over two millennia of Irish history set against a backdrop of glacial valleys and rugged peninsulas.
