North Kerry Way
About
Get ready to be let in on the best-kept secret in the Kingdom. The North Kerry Way is a local’s favourite walking trail that cuts a linear path up the coast through northwest County Kerry, from the lively country town of Tralee to the breezy village of Ballyheigue with its Blue Flag beach.
Tracking through unspoilt countryside and incorporating fascinating historical sites and astonishing mountain and seascapes alike, this well-signed route offers much for the walker with an average level of fitness to enjoy, the best of which has to be the unmatched views over the Dingle Penninsula.
Underfoot, the going is varied yet mostly flat, consisting of peaceful country roads, sandy beach tracks, bog paths, rocky trails and fields. Some climbing near the end, over the Maulin and Triskmore mountains, rewards walkers with unforgettable panoramas as far as Mount Brandon and the Slieve Mish range.
