Overview

“The world is full of wonderful things you haven’t seen yet. Don’t ever give up on the chance of seeing them.”
Starting out from Kenmare, we head north towards the bustling town of Tralee. Just outside the town we visit Blennerville and Ireland’s largest working windmill on the shores of Tralee Bay.
We continue, through Mahrees and Castlegregory, before driving up and over the Conor Pass. One of the highest mountain passes in the country, the views are spectacular and the experience of driving the narrow, winding roads is unforgettable! Descending from Conor Pass into lively Dingle town, there is an abundance of options for coffee or even lunch before setting out on Slea Head Drive. Yet more photo opps await as this scenic drive takes us on a route along the edge of the Atlantic with views out to the Blasket Islands.
Take in the towns of Ballyferriter and Ballydavid before Brandon’s Creek and a return to Dingle. Heading back to Kenmare, we follow a route into Annascaul, the breathtaking Inch Beach before continuing home to Kenmare via Killarney.
