Because just driving around Ireland is one of the best activities you can do, you definitely have to check out the Ring of Kerry, which is a beautiful drive around the Iveragh Peninsula in Co. Kerry. It's 111 miles in length and takes about three-and-a-half hours to drive the entire thing. Be sure to check out sites along the way like Skellig Michael (the site of an old Irish monastery), Derrynane Beach, the stone forts of Cahergal and Leacanabuaile, and Kenmare town. Just give yourself some extra time in order to stop for scenic photo ops, lunch, and pints (you know, the essentials).
