Killarney to Valentia Island - The Inveragh Peninsula Walking Guidebook

by: Adrian Hendroff
The Iveragh Peninsula, the largest in southwest Ireland, stretches from Killarney to Bolus Head and attracts thousands of visitors annually. The Ring of Kerry coastal road winds along its fringes and sandstone peaks soar high above. It is a landscape of raw and stunning beauty from the lakes that fill the corries to the spectacular cliff scenery along its coast.
There is no better way to explore this landscape than on foot. This book helps you do just that with routes ranging from a few hours to full-day walks. Explore Valentia Island, the majestic MacGillycuddy's Reeks and sections of The Kerry Way. Go off the beaten track and explore the coast, hills and woodlands from Killarney to Cahersiveen to Kenmare.
The book contains 29 walks varying in length from 6 km up to 27 km although most are about 10km. Each route begins with a box giving grade, distance, ascent, time and start and finish point, followed by an overview. A full route description follows including GPS waypoints and coloured sketch maps of the route. The book also includes numerous colour photographs. An introductory chapter provides some background information and practical advice.
