Start out in The Square in Kenmare and proceed along the roadside path along The Old Killarney Road. The Holy Cross Church is the first main landmark.

From here follow the signpost and marked trail.

This stage of the Kerry way starts just by the pedestrian bridge which joins the north and South squares of the village.

Follow the marked route.

The starting point for this stage of the walk is the little village of Caherdaniel. At the crossroads proceed as per the markings.

Again follow the marked trail.

On this stage of the Kerry way you have two choices. You can decide to take the shorter and more costal route - 13km (8 miles). The other alternative is to take the inland route which is significantly longer at 29 kilometers (18 miles).

Taking the costal route is much shorter and has spectacular views. Follow the marked route.

Leaving Cahirciveen, walk back along the road to reach the trail.

Follow the marked route in conjunction with the guidebook.
