## Must-See
- **Dingle Peninsula** — More intimate than the Ring of Kerry, less touristy, arguably more beautiful. The **Slea Head Drive** (55km loop from Dingle town) passes 6th-century beehive huts (*clochán*), ruined Gallarus Oratory, the Blasket Islands viewpoint across the water, and **Connor Pass** — the highest mountain pass in Ireland driveable by road, with views down to both coasts. Dingle town has the best seafood restaurants and traditional music on the peninsula. Fungie the dolphin has been replaced by an actual thriving harbour.

- **Ring of Kerry** — The classic 180km circuit of the Iveragh Peninsula: Killarney National Park, Kenmare, Waterville (Charlie Chaplin's favourite holiday spot), Cahersiveen, Portmagee. Busy with tourist coaches — if driving, go **counterclockwise** (opposite to coach direction) to avoid head-on meetings. If cycling, start before 8am.
- **Skellig Michael** — UNESCO World Heritage Site; early Christian monastery built on a sea stack 12km offshore. 618 stone steps to the beehive huts at the summit, puffins everywhere in August, otherworldly. Also a Star Wars filming location. **Boats from Portmagee and Ballinskelligs — book months in advance.** If you haven't booked, check now.

- **Killarney National Park** — The three Lakes of Killarney, Torc Waterfall (15 min walk from the road), Muckross House (Victorian mansion, free grounds), and the Gap of Dunloe (glacial valley; walk it or hire a jaunting car). Ireland's oldest national park and genuinely beautiful.
- **Kenmare** — Elegant small town on the estuary between the Iveragh and Beara peninsulas. Good food, good pubs, stone circle just outside town.
