"BALLINSKELLIGS BAY: The Ring of Kerry road is strung
like a necklet around the highest mountains in Ireland, following
the spectacular sea cost westwards from Killarney. From the Pass of Coomakista
along this famous route, 700 feet above the sea, enchanting views are obtained
of Ballinskelligs Bay beneath, showing the Skelligs Rocks and other features
of the coast, and inland the mountains rise precipitously to a height of
1,600 feet. The road then winds down to Lough Currane and Waterville,
the famous angling centre."
