 To reach Lamb's Head you should take the Ring of Kerry road from either Sneem or Waterville to Caherdaniel. About 1km south of Caherdaniel turn west onto L7542 (which is signposted "Lamb Head) at the bottlebank. At the end of the road after 5km strike across the peninsula towards the lookout post, at 105m, map reference 526563. If you want to camp ask for permission at one of the houses near the end of the road. Park considerately.  Climbs are found north west of the Head.
