Kerry Way

With over 200km, the Kerry Way is one of Ireland's longest signposted walking trail and also one of the most popular. The trail starts and finishes in the busy tourist destination of Killarney. Looping around the Iveragh Peninsula, the Kerry Way goes anti-clockwise, passing through some of the most isolated and dramatic countryside in the country.

Whilst Kerry is renowned for having the highest mountains in Ireland, the Kerry Way avoids the higher peaks and opts for the lower reaches of mountain ridges. The trail is intended to quickly progress through a variety of different landscapes and experiences, giving the walker a wider appreciation for the county.

Cnoc na dTobar mountain

Cnoc na dTobar is regarded as a penitential, sacred mountain since pagan times, a place where pilgrims could atone for their sins, a place where heaven and earth meet. Cnoc na dTobar and Drung Hill have the most ritual monuments of any of South Kerry's mountains. In pagan times, crowds gathered at the summit at the beginning of August, to celebrate the ancient Festival of Lughnasa, the beginning of the harvest season.

Fires were lit, rituals were observed and singing and dancing competitions were held.In 1886, Canon Brosnan, Parish Priest of Cahersiveen, built fourteen Stations of the Cross up the 690 metre mountain trail.

They begin near St. Fursey's Well and climb to the Canon's Cross on top. The trail is clearly marked and people of all ages can walk some or all of the way.
