A 179-kilometre loop around the Iveragh Peninsula: mountains sliding into the Atlantic, stone forts, sheep with right of way. Drive it clockwise to avoid meeting the tour coaches head-on, and detour onto the smaller Skellig Ring for the drama without the traffic. Weather changes by the quarter hour — that's part of the show. End the day with chowder and live music in a Kenmare or Portmagee pub.
