*The* ***ring of Skellig*** *is an extension of the famous* ***Ring of Kerry*** *and is a real hidden gem – a small, 20 mile (app 32km?) route that will show you the gorgeous beauty of* ***Ireland*** *with none of the hassles.****The Skellig Ring*** *(or Ring of Skellig), detours west off the N70 just north of Waterville, and hooks back up to the Ring of Kerry just south of Caherciveen. If you want to go to* ***Valentia Island****, or take a boat to the* ***Skellig Islands****, you’ll be heading this way, anyway.*
*Just north of* ***Waterville*** *on the Ring of Kerry, there’s a small road marked Skellig Ring. Only cars are allowed on these small, country roads. That is reason enough to step off the Ring of Kerry. So. Revel in getting off the beaten path – driving through small villages such as* ***Dungaegan****,* ***The Glen****, up winding lanes up and down mountains, with the ever-present*  [***Atlantic ocean***](http://www.visitballinskelligs.ie/see-do/wild-atlantic-way/) *to the left – its waves crashing against rocks.*
