The Kerry Camino walks in the footsteps of St Brendan the Navigator, along the Dingle Way through 6,000 years of Irish History and along the Wild Atlantic Way. During the 3 days, walkers pass through rugged mountainous and coastal scenery, on through towns and villages until reaching the final destination at the church of St James in Dingle. The walk revives Kerry’s links with pilgrims of the past.

The Kerry Camino logo is a pewter scallop shell with a bronze-gilded statue of St James attached and mounted on a brooch, representing a pilgrim’s badge. It’s based on an original, discovered in 1992 during an archaeological dig at the ruined Ardfert Cathedral, just north of Tralee. The artefact was found underneath the wall of a late medieval tomb, suggesting that the deceased person had been on a pilgrimage to the apostle’s burial place in Santiago. Pilgrims used to depart for A Coruña from St James’ Church in Dingle.
