The Ring of Kerry route traditionally starts and ends in Killarney, along the N70, taking in Killorglin, Glenbeigh, Cahirciveen, Waterville, Sneem and time permitting, Kenmare. The road is narrow in places and it is always recommended to travel anti-clockwise in the above order! Magnificent scenery and well worth the drive!!
Killorglin - which is at the heart of Co. Kerry - is the ideal base to explore the "Gems of Kerry". Kerry offers just about everything one could wish to do, which makes it the ideal holiday destination, and the scenery is spectacular with golden blue flag sandy beaches only 10 minutes' drive away. Guided walks are available in the Kerry Mountains and through the Kerry Way. Cycling the high-ways and by-ways of the local countryside is another way to discover the wonderful scenery at a leisurely pace. Horse riding can also be organised, with the choice of trekking the golden sands of Rossbeigh Beach or the lovely surrounding countryside.
Coffey's River's Edge Guesthouse in Killorglin has been listed for the past 8 years in the Lonely Planet Guide to Ireland. One of the many reasons, is that we not only pride ourselves on always offering a very high standard of accommodation and food, but also a warm, helpful and friendly welcome to all our guests, be they first time visitors, or guests we welcome back time and time again. We hope to have the pleasure to welcome you too and that you may add your comments to those of our many happy guests. Here are some sample quotes from our guestbook:
