Ireland: Ring of Kerry
Iveragh Peninsula in the southwest Ireland is famous for the roadtrip known as the Ring of Kerry, where you circumnavigate the peninsula along the stunning coastal vistas, cliffs and seastacks, verdant hills and blue ocean. And there are many places where wildflowers carpet the ground in all directions. The Coomakista Pass – 215 m (705 feet) above sea level – is one of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring scenic viewpoints along the entire Ring of Kerry route – here you get open panoramas of the rugged Atlantic coastline of the Iveragh Peninsula and Ballinskelligs Bay. You get the sea of green – classic Ireland! – followed by rugged coast and cruising sea waves and several prominent islands offshore, like Deenish and Scariff islands.
