Kingdom. It has an area of 4,746 km² (1,832 square miles). The
county town is Tralee. The county is bordered by County Limerick (east)
and County Cork (South-east). One of Ireland's most famous towns, Killarney,
is located in Kerry. The county has two national parks, the Killarney
Lakes and Dingle Peninsula. The tip of the Dingle Peninsula is the most
westerly point in mainland Ireland. Kerry has the highest mountains
in Ireland: Macgillicuddy's Reeks. The county is bordered on the west
by the Atlantic Ocean and on the north by the River Shannon, the longest
river in Ireland. Kerry's coast is a series of peninsulas and large
bays. As well as the Dingle Peninsula there is the Ring of Kerry, a
popular route for tourists and cyclists The pedestrian version is the
scenic Kerry Way which follows ancient paths generally higher than that
adopted by the Ring of Kerry. Just off Kerry's coast are a number of
islands, including the Blasket Islands and the Skelligs. Skellig Michael
is famous for the medieval monastery clinging to the island's cliffs.
