Why the
Ring of Kerry
is special
The Ring of Kerry in Ireland is one of Europe's most famous and scenic drives. You view craggy coastlines and verdant rolling hills dotted with sheep.
Major
shortcoming
The Ring of Kerry has a serious shortcoming: In the last couple of decades it has become severely overcrowded with day-tour busses during its peak summer season - to the point where this overshadows the natural beauty. That's the reason I lowered the Ring of Kerry from a Silver to a Bronze Medal.
