North Kerry Way - Spa to Banna

The North Kerry Way is a 48 kilometre linear walking route through the northern part of County Kerry in the south-west of Ireland, starting in the County town of Tralee and ending in the town of Ballyheigue. While not as well known as the Iveragh or Dingle Peninsula of the same county, North Kerry has much to offer, including spectacular seascapes, the finest beaches in Ireland and a multitude of ancient sites, churches and field monuments. The route heads out of the village of Spa and it goes cross country onto the white sands of Banna Strand. The route is flat except for the last few kilometres where there are some short ascents, with an aggregate climb of 370 metres.
