Before you go

Tour coaches run the Ring of Kerry anticlockwise, so expect them coming towards you on this stretch in the morning.

Which way round

Kenmare to Killarney, so Ladies View opens out on your right as you drop towards the lakes.

When it’s open

Normally open all year, though snow can close it for a day or two.
