Warnings for large vehicles
- Drive on the left. Very narrow lanes between stone walls; Conor Pass (Dingle) is closed to coaches and caravans.
- Ring of Kerry: tour coaches drive counterclockwise; do the same so you don't meet them on the bends.
These routes were written from memory: double-check distances, seasons, rules and closures with official sources before you go.
