Starting in the county town of Tralee, in County Kerry, the 45 km North Kerry Way passes through beautiful countryside with views stretching out over the sea from the northern Clare coast right down to the Dingle Peninsula. Flat for the most part, the trail becomes steeper towards the end where there are some short ascents. Some road walking is involved, otherwise the track is over firm sandy beaches, moorland and heathland.
Both historical and archaeological places of interest, as well as popular seabird feeding sites add to the allure of this hike, plus it is a dog friendly trail and is typically completed in two days.
