The Ring of Kerry abounds in natural wonders and the beauty and grandeur of the scenery is unsurpassed by any in Ireland. Starting in the town of Killarney made famous by the magnificent « Three Lakes of Killarney »the « Ring »then continues anti-clockwise through Killorglin, Caherciveen, on to Waterville and Sneem before returning to Killarney.

We, however, find this route to be « over-run »with tourists and therefore unkind to cycles « so for that reason » we suggest a much more leisurely and quieter mix of inland and coastal routes to give you just the same beauty and splendour if not more !

You can also find your Scotland bike tour, your Baltic states tour, your Portugal bike tour or your Holland bike tour.
