Explore Killarney and Beyond by Car
Killarney is the highlight of Ireland’s southwest, the town is ideally located amongst lakes, mountains, and heritage sites, making it one of the country’s top destinations. Start your trip in Killarney National Park, home to Muckross House and Gardens, Torc Waterfall, and the Gap of Dunloe, all easy to reach by car.
Killarney is also the gateway to the Ring of Kerry, a 179 km circular route offering some of Ireland’s most iconic scenery. Start and finish in Killarney, and if you’re driving yourself, go clockwise to avoid tour buses. The drive takes about five to six hours, depending on how often you stop. Roads can be narrow in places, so take your time and let local traffic pass where safe.
Stop in Kenmare, Sneem, Waterville, or Cahersiveen all great places to grab a coffee, meet some locals and enjoy the view. If time allows, add a detour to the Skellig Ring, a quieter loop, detouring off the N70 just north of Waterville and reconnects south of Caherciveen. It is worth it for the views of Skellig Michael, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Day trips to the famous Star Wars filming site can be booked too.
Before setting off, fuel up in Killarney or Kenmare and plan a few breaks, the drive is best enjoyed at an easy pace. Rushing wiil cause stress and nobody needs that on holidays.
When your journey in Kerry comes to an end, continue onwards. Cork is just over an hour away, and Galway is an easy drive north along the Wild Atlantic Way. With your Payless rental car, you can explore Killarney and beyond entirely on your own schedule.
