Trail Reviews

Guido R.
August 31, 2023, 🇮🇪 Ballybunion Runde

Small, fine tour in Ballybunion (Kerry) along the cliffs with a view of Nuns Beach 🏖 with the rock gate "Virgin Rock" and the north beach with the ruins. Unfortunately the path slipped at one point and therefore the “Cliff Walk” cannot be walked throughout.

Translated by Google

Ballybunion is in County Kerry and you can go cliff walking, swim on the beach and visit the remains of a castle.

Round in Ballybunion with a view of Nun's Beach, Vigin Rock, the beach and the castle ruins. The "Nine daughters hole", an opening on the edge of the cliff that extends down into the sea, is spectacular.
