Bicycling

Caragh Lake Cycling Route. Cyclists love this circuit, which is about a 35-km (22-mile) round-trip from Glenbeigh. It is relatively traffic-free compared to the Ring of Kerry, and runs through truly remote bog and mountain landscape that's rich in wildlife. You might spot a herd of long-bearded wild goats, or a peregrine falcon soaring above. But bring your own drinks and snacks: retail outlets are scarce in these parts. Glenbeigh, Co. Kerry.
