Skellig Michael, on the list of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites, is a large rock jutting out of the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Kerry; it houses ruins of an ancient Irish monastic settlement. The Dingle Peninsula and the Blasket Islands off its coast are other noteworthy sites in the region.
The Killarney Lakes are home to three lakes as well as Carrauntoohill, Ireland’s highest peak and some other mountains. The Killarney National Park is spread over several kilometres of mountain and woodland areas and is home to some rare species. The Ross Castle, an Irish castle-fortress from the Middle Ages, and the Muckross House, a mansion from the nineteenth century, are also located in the vicinity.
For the sporty traveller, Kerry offers a marked cyclist route called the Ring of Kerry and many walking paths amongst which the Kerry Way is the most popular. These routes have been so designed as to pass through most of the county’s interesting sites.
