Kerry Locations
One of the most spectacular roads on a guided tour anywhere in Ireland is The Conor Pass. The Conor Pass is the highest mountain pass in Ireland and is by far the most scenic and dramatic way of entering or leaving Dingle Town. The narrow and winding road views are breathtaking as the glaciated landscape of mountains and corrie lakes comes into view.
Dingle is the only town on the Dingle Peninsula, but there are many quaint and pretty villages to visit on your guided tour. Dingle nestles on the Atlantic coast about 30 miles southwest of Tralee and 40 miles northwest of Killarney. Its most famous resident is an adult Bottlenose Dolphin named Fungie who has been courting human contact in Dingle Bay since 1983.
Inch Beach is three miles of sandy beach where you can enjoy bathing, surfing, and sea angling, all while you enjoy some of Kerry’s Panoramic views. Inch Beach has an extensive sand spit and associated dune system and is located north of Castlegregory village. The beaches have a blue flag and have lifeguards during the summer season. Pay a visit with your chauffeur on your guided tour of the area.
Killorglin is a major activity center for Kerry. It also has one of the last Inns started by Charles Bianconi and it is right in the center of the town. It’s called “The Bianconi” and features his famous horse carriages painted on the sign and on the inn. Killorglin Town Hall is held to have been built with the help of Andrew Carnegie. Your Ireland West Tours driver will be delighted to guide you there.
Muckross House is a Victorian Mansion set against the panoramic beauty of Killarney National Park. We suggest vising here before you go on your guided tour of Dingle rather than on your guided tour of The Ring of Kerry. The house stands close to the shores of Muckross Lake, one of Killarney's three famous lakes.
The Slea Head Drive is an extremely scenic route on the Wild Atlantic Way, that begins and ends and in Dingle town. Your guided tour of Slea Head Drive takes in a number of attractions and stunning views on the western end of the peninsula. It is one of the favorite drives of our chauffeurs.
Staigue Fort is one of the largest and finest ring forts you are likely to see on any guided tour in Ireland. There are others nearby like Leacanabuaile in Cahersiveen, Lohar stone fort and Caherdaniel stone fort. Staigue stands on a low hill and commands a fine great of Kenmare Bay to the south.
Ireland West Tours has been bringing visitors on guided tours to this “Hidden Gem” for many years. It was known outside mainly by the word of mouth of visitors and its own island diaspora. Things change though, so when the Google mapping van arrived and recorded Valentia’s byways and stunning vistas our little secret was out.
"My husband and I spent only a little over 24 hours in Galway. Jim who drove us through some of the most amazing landscapes we've ever seen. He was happy to stop whenever we wanted to take it in, and took some great photos for us as well. I would definitely recommend Jim."
