Our top things to do in Kerry this Summer | Day 4 Itinerary

Climb a mountain in kerry!

Here are OUR TOP THINGS TO DO IN KERRY THIS SUMMER | DAY 4 ITINERARY

Killarney Valley is surrounded by beautiful mountains which range in their degree of difficulty. At the easier end of the spectrum stands Torc and Strickeen and the degree of difficulty increases from there.

Some mountains nearby:

1. Carrauntoohill

Carrauntoohill is Ireland’s highest mountain, it’s a hugely rewarding day out but it’s level of difficulty should not be underestimated. Our advice…. to truly enjoy the experience, hire the expertise of a local guide.

2. MacGillycuddy Reeks

The Macgillycuddy Reeks is Kerry’s most famous Mountain Range. Challenge yourself on the 21km full day hike and enjoy magnificent views. Just make sure you have a local guide to steer you along the way!

3. Mangerton

Mangerton Mountain just outside Killarney offers a tough but rewarding hike for those willing to take on the challenge! With spectacular views of Killarney, The MacGillycuddy Reeks, The Paps and The Devil’s Punchbowl, Mangerton should definitely be added to your list.

4. The Paps

The Paps walking route in Killarney is a hidden gem steeped in Irish mythology. A moderate hike, the route begins in Derrynafinna and follows in the footsteps of the legendary Fianna. Enjoy spectacular views in every direction upon reaching the summit.

Iggy got us both checked in to the fabulous *Dog Friendly* Dromhall Hotel this afternoon!
A late 50th present from herself to me.
We left Dingle this morning and covered a lot of ground on our way to Killarney, so we'll be resting up tonight in style!
Sheep's Head is our destination for tomorrow evening, with as much as possible packed in between!

Some stunning light up at Dromluska Cottage in the Black Valley last month. I always think the drive in is ridiculously long until I get out and shoot this place. It’s worth every minute on the road. 📸

We had an early start from Dingle this morning, in order to enjoy a peaceful Gap of Dunloe.
This is such a magical drive! So good, we drove up it twice!
Breakfast was enjoyed on the rocks just below our car there, before we headed for Killarney, via the Black Valley, Moll's Gap, diniscottagetearooms and Killarney National Park.
Huge thanks to Tommy Griffin, Kerry footballing legend, for the accommodation at his dog friendly muiris_dans Bar in Dingle last night!
Iggy has just surprised me with her delayed 50th birthday present to me! So tonight, we're staying at the *Dog Friendly* Dromhall Hotel!

The Upper Lake.
I was up bright and early this morning, and myself and goranzphotography headed back up to the Upper Lake and I took another crack at it. There was no clouds, which left everything looking a bit boring once the sun came up, but I think this kind of minimalist version just before sunrise kind of works.

Ross Castle

sits on the edge of Killarney’s lower lake and was built by O’Donoghue Mór in the 15th century. The Castle came into the hands of the Brownes who became the Earls of Kenmare and owned an extensive portion of the lands that are now part of Killarney National Park . Legend has it that O’Donoghue still exists in a deep slumber under the waters of Lough Leane. On the first morning of May every seven years he rises from the lake on his magnificent white horse and circles the lake. Anyone catching a glimpse of him is said to be assured of good fortune for the rest of their lives. The large rock at the entrance to the bay is known as O’Donoghue’s prison. Ross Castle was the last stronghold in Munster to hold out against Cromwell. It was eventually taken by General Ludlow in 1652.
Ross Castle is open to the public during the summer months. Details from Ross Castle, Killarney, Co. Kerry
Telephone No: +353 64 6635851 Fax: +353 64 6635852 Email: rosscastle@opw.ie
By car, Ross Castle can be reached via a signposted right turn off the N71 travelling south from Killarney town or by walking or cycling from the Killarney House and Knockreer sections of the National Park. Jaunting cars also make the journey and are available at the jaunting car stand in the town.
