Did You Know?

Killarney means 'Church of the Blackthorn,' though nobody is entirely sure why. Just outside the town, the MacGillycuddy's Reeks rise to become Ireland's highest mountain range, home to Carrauntoohil, the tallest peak in the country. But there's more to Kerry than the scenery. During the Irish War of Independence, it was one of the most fiercely contested counties in Ireland, and the stories from that period are as dramatic as the landscape that surrounds them.

Southwest Ireland at its most wild

Coastal passes that drop down to hidden bays, mountain views that appear without warning, and a landscape that changes every few miles in ways that make you glad you're not watching it through a car window alone. Touring from Killarney puts you right in the heart of it, with a driver-guide who knows when to stop, when to slow down, and when to just let the scenery do the talking.
