The scenic drive through the forest lasts a few kilometres before the narrow winding road begins to go uphill. We are doing the
Ring of Kerry loop in the clockwise direction. For some reason tour coaches are required to do the route anti-clockwise.
Soon the trees give way to rocks and bushes, and we arrive at
Ladies View, a look-out giving spendid views of the famous Killarney Lakes, and the expansive valley below.
