What to expect
A three-day, 57 km pilgrimage trail showcasing some of Ireland’s most beautiful and dramatic scenery and coastline, the Kerry Camino follows a route taken by Saint Brendan, from St. Johns Roman Catholic Church in Tralee to St James Church of Ireland in Dingle. This latter church was founded by Spanish merchants in medieval times who dedicated it to the Church of St James of Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain and so Dingle became a popular departure point for Irish pilgrims en route to the tomb of St James. The trail treks along the northern slopes of the Slieve Mish Mountains, passes through the town of Annascaul, home to the South Pole Inn, the pub opened by Tom Grean the famous arctic explorer and it also goes through Dingle, Ireland’s foodie town.
