The '''Ring of Kerry''' is a 179 km-long circular touristic road in County Kerry, in the South West of [[Ireland]]. Starting in [[Killarney]], the biggest and most touristic city town in that area, it leads clockwise to [[Kenmare]] (N70/N71) and goes further to [[Killorglin]], passing the small towns [[Sneem]], [[Castle Cough]], [[Waterville]], [[Cahersiveen]] and [[Glenbeigh]]. Via N72 it goes back to Killarney.
Having pretty interesting and beautiful spots (the small towns, mountains, the shore, museums etc.), the Ring is often busy and plenty of tourist buses, especially in the summer. Nevertheless, it is always possible to hitch from town to town. The part Killarney - Killorglin - Waterville (N72) is the busiest part so that hitchhiking is absolutely easy. Lots of traffic (on the day) let you find a lift after 5 minutes. Most of the cars drive to the next town, so you need several lifts what normal is for Ireland in general. But every town is a good touristic spot, where you can stop anyway. Sign boards are helpful, but not necessary, the drivers always guess your direction.
