Famous coastal loop around the Iveragh peninsula
The N70 forms the bulk of the Ring of Kerry, a long coastal route around the Iveragh peninsula linking Killorglin, Cahersiveen, Waterville and Sneem. The road threads between mountain and Atlantic shore with a mix of open coast and tight village sections. Mind the tour coaches travelling anticlockwise, narrow stretches and frequent stopping traffic.
