Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Tralee

    You'll arrive in Tralee, County Kerry's main town, where there's quite a bit to explore right away. Shops, restaurants, and bars line the streets, so you can grab a meal or walk around and get your bearings. Both bus and train connections run from Dublin and other Irish towns into Tralee's main stations, so getting here is straightforward if you're coming from elsewhere.

    Meals
    Breakfast (Breakfast each morning in accommodation with wide selection to choose from)

You'll get excellent views looking back toward Tralee and out to Brandon Mountain. The terrain varies between roadside paths, canal walks, minor roads, open mountain, and small laneways, so it keeps things interesting.
