Introducing Dingle Peninsula
The northern-most promontory in Kerry and Cork’s proud collection, the Dingle Peninsula also has the subtlest charms. Its mellow landscape is one of green hills and golden sands, and culminates in Europe’s most westerly point, gazing across the sound at the ghost town on Great Blasket Island. Of course, the friendly hills have their mountainous areas, such as Mt Brandon and the Connor Pass, but, on the whole, this is calming country.

Centred on pretty Dingle town, the peninsula has a high concentration of ring forts and other ancient ruins. Activities on offer range from diving to playing the bodhrán. There’s an alternative way of life here in the craft shops and cultural centres, trad sessions and folkloric festivals found in the Dingle’s tiny settlements.
