Leaving Caherdaniel, the Kerry Way rises away from the road and rounds a small hill before revealing views across the inlet of Kenmare and over to the Beara Peninsula. The path goes through some quite marshy terrain as it heads north-east towards the right of Coad Mountain.

The Kerry Way crosses several streams before rejoining a boreen and passing the ruins of the 12th century Church of Kilcrohane. Bypassing Castle Cove to the south, the trail meets up with a small road that can get busy at times due to traffic heading up to see Staigue Fort. The Kerry Way follows this road for over 2km before breaking free and crossing the old bridge of the old Kenmare Road that leads up out of the valley and over the shoulder of Bohacogram at just under 200m.

Skirting the edge of a forest, the Kerry Way heads north-west along the lower flanks of Bohacogram and Esknaloughoge before finally swinging to a more easterly direction, giving views of the more impressive peaks around Coomcallee and its fantastic U-shaped valley. The trail eventually leads back to more consistent stretches of tarmac before finally leading into the colourful village of Sneem.
