Hiring a car and driving up to the Ladies View affords the best views of the area, and a number of good waterfalls invite travellers to stop along the way. There are also some good walking and cycling trails in the area. One of the main reasons visitors come to Kerry is to tour the impressive Ring of Kerry, a road which slowly winds its way around the Dingle Peninsula, giving motorists stunning coastline and spectacular mountain views. Tralee is 20 miles northwest of Killarney. It is the commercial hub of County Kerry and three times the size of Killarney. The harbour of Tralee is four miles to the northwest of town, at Fenit – a major sailing centre.

The Dunloe Ogham Stones are five miles west of Killarney on the R562. Keep left and continue over the River Laune to Beaufort village. Drive straight through village and you will find the stones half-a-mile beyond on the left. Originally, they were the roof of a souterrain, or underground passage, which collapsed at the end of the 19th century. Ogham was the earliest form of Irish writing (3rd century AD). It consisted of groupings of straight and slanted lines written around the edge of a rock. This was normally a headstone or memorial mentioning a person and their ancestors. One of the Dunloe stones has been removed to the pathway between the cathedral and Saint Brendan's College in Killarney town.
