A narrow ridge rises north of Lough Currane. A hiking trail and the Kerry Way lead up over the wide ridge. If you walk along here, you will enjoy a wonderful view of the lake and the bay in front of you.

View of Kenmare Bay from the Old Butter Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A great stretch of the Olde Butter Road. These medieval trade routes can be found in many places on the Iveragh Peninsula. At this point, the path runs high above the sea through an idyllic, unspoilt hilly landscape. When the weather is clear you have a fantastic view down to the Bay of Kenmare.

View of Derrynane Bay and Scarriff Island

Highlight • Viewpoint

A wonderful section of the long-distance hiking trail "The Kerry Way" across a cow pasture above the coast with excellent views.
For a beautiful circuit of around 13 km from Caherdaniel, it can be easily combined with the hiking trail along the coast (Derrynane Beach Track) past Derrynane National Historic Park.

View over Skellig Islands

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

With fantastic views, the trail leads here between field stone walls over wide sheep pastures. Stop here to let your gaze wander over the bay Ballinskelligs Bay. Far out in the Atlantic, you can even see the rugged rocks of the famous Skellig Islands.
