Just offshore lies Skellig Michael, a craggy island with early Christian monastic ruins exuding an otherworldly aura.
 
The ring incorporates peninsulas like the Iveragh Peninsula, where Ireland’s highest peak, Carrauntoohil, dominates the skyline. See if you can spot its deep corrie glacial lakes on sunny days! Learn about the region's ancient Ogham stones and diverse heritage at Crag Cave or Kissane Sheep Farm, then delight your tastebuds with local artisanal foods from chocolate to cheese.
