Kerry, with its mountains, lakes and nearly 1,000 kilometres of [[List of Irish counties by coastline|Atlantic coastline]] is among the most scenic areas in Ireland and is among the most significant tourist destinations in Ireland. Killarney is the centre of the tourism industry, which is a significant element of the economy in Kerry. The [[Kerry Way]], [[Dingle Way]] and [[Beara Way]] are walking routes in the county. The [[Ring of Kerry]] on the [[Iveragh Peninsula]] is a popular route for tourists and cyclists. The pedestrian version is the scenic [[Kerry Way]] which follows ancient paths generally higher than that adopted by the Ring of Kerry.

Kerry has an abundance of archaeological sites. The earliest evidence of human settlement dates to the Mesolithic period.<ref>Bennett, I. (1987). "The Archaeology of County Kerry" Archaeology Ireland, 1(2), 48–51. Retrieved 17 June 2021, from http://www.jstor.org/stable/20558252 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210629144433/https://www.jstor.org/stable/20558252 |date=29 June 2021 }}</ref> The county has a notably high concentration of open-air [[Rock art of Europe#Atlantic European rock art|Atlantic rock art]], which is believed to date to the Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age period (2300-1500BC). This rock art is scattered throughout the county and exists in dense clusters on the [[Iveragh Peninsula|Iveragh]] and [[Dingle Peninsula|Dingle]] peninsulas. These carvings form part of a tradition which stretches across Atlantic Europe and are distinct from the megalithic art of the type found at Newgrange.<ref>Bradley, R. 1997. "Signing the Land; Rock Art and the Prehistory of Atlantic Europe", Routledge, London.</ref> Kerry has many Bronze Age monuments including standing stones, wedge tombs, boulder burials, and stone circles, along with Iron Age forts. Like the rest of Ireland, Kerry has large numbers of monuments from the Early Christian period, such as ring forts, churches, cross-inscribed stones, holy wells, saints' graves, and ogham stones, along with Medieval castles and churches.
