Kerry Cliffs
The Kerry Cliffs, near Portmagee on the Iveragh Peninsula, are among the most dramatic and least crowded cliff viewpoints on the Ring of Kerry — rising over 300 metres above the Atlantic, taller than the more famous Cliffs of Moher, with sweeping views across to the Skellig Islands on a clear day. They sit on private farmland with a small entry fee and paid parking, which keeps visitor numbers far lower than at bigger-name sites, and a short walk from the car park leads to a series of viewing platforms along the clifftop.
Because they face the open Atlantic and the Skelligs directly, they're also one of the best places along the Skellig Ring to appreciate just how remote and rugged this stretch of Kerry coastline is, and the walk is short enough to suit almost any visitor pairing a Ring of Kerry drive with a proper look at the ocean.
