One of the things County Kerry is most noted for is The Ring of Kerry. This is a hundred mile route around the Iveragh Peninsula, which is one of the world's great scenic drives. This route, a mixture of rugged mountains, winding valleys and dramatic seascapes, begins and ends in Killarney.

A great place to pay a visit to is Muckross House, Killarney. This is an impressive 19th-century manor with a Portland stone exterior. Here you'll see exhibits of Kerry folk life, including ancient forms of harvesting, printing, pottery, weaving and hand-carved period furniture. The subtropical gardens and the nature walks offer a fine example of the beauty and serenity of County Kerry.

Kerry is as rich in history as it is in scenery, and a whole holiday can easily be spent just exploring this county of Ireland.
