Beautiful Scenery on the Dingle Peninsula, Ireland
Blog: Pommie Travels - 2 April 2012
I love Ireland. In most places, if it was grey and rainy, I would be less than impressed. But somehow Ireland [...]

Travel Photo Thursday: A Foggy Day
Blog: A Traveler's Library - 29 March 2012
I was inspired to post a few pictures of fog and mist by this lovely misty Ireland photo at Music Road, and a memory of a foggy day in Chicago (left). It also is a challenge to myself, since I tend to leave my camera in its case when the weather turns misty. I need [...]This content is a post from: A Traveler's Library To comment on this post or search for related information, click on the link to A Traveler's Library. We'll leave a light on for you.

The Dingle Peninsula, Ireland Wishes You Were Here
Blog: Suzy Guese - 16 May 2011
A pile of stones is never just a pile of stones in Ireland. It is a facet of history, a connection to times long since past, someone’s former home. On the Dingle Peninsula of Ireland, the landscape is speckled with homes and forts of residents who might have just grunted to communicate, too preoccupied with [...]

Ireland's Ring of Dingle
Blog: Brilliant Tips Travel Blog - 23 April 2010
A great alternative to the tourist clogged Ring of Kerry is the not-as-famous Slea Head Drive west from Dingle.

Gotta love it!
Blog: photito's blog - 8 April 2010
I have a love hate relationship with youth hostels. One minute they make me feel young, vibrant and totally on top of the world. The next they’ve got me swearing I’ll never stay in one ever again. There’s nothing quite like tossing and turning in a sleepless state of despair when the traveller in bunk [...]

Horseback riding in Dingle? {Day 14}
Blog: Emerald Dreams Photography - 27 December 2009
I am sure there were other places I could explore, but I really wanted to head back to Dingle today. The visit yesterday really got me interested in coming back to Dingle. I got my gear ready and headed off to Dingle again. Too bad today was a bad day to go. When I got to [...]

A Little Climb…A Harrowing Pass and Mountain Descent
Blog: A Little Adrift - A RTW Travelogue - 10 November 2009
In addition to Ireland’s most scenic coastline and sights: Slea Head Drive, and Fungie the Dolphin in Dingle town’s harbor, there are two other parts of the Dingle Peninsula that I really loved. Forging Dingle’s Connor Pass: My photos from Connor Pass don’t even look real, and I swear to you they are unaltered. I was emphatically warned about attempting the Connor pass since I wasn’t particularly skilled behind the wheel on the left side of the road (so sue me, I’m an American, we don’t drive on that side!)…and I ...

A Little Scenic…The Absolute Most Picturesque Drive in Ireland
Blog: A Little Adrift - A RTW Travelogue - 8 November 2009
It’s no secret that I truly love Ireland – I think I have pretty successfully waxed poetic about the country in most of the past week’s blog posts. Fortunately for you, I’m not done yet! As wonderful as Dingle town is, a trip to the Dingle Peninsula isn’t complete without driving Slea Head Drive. This is arguably one of Ireland’s most scenic drives and contains several of the oldest sites in Ireland all contained in one small area. I filled the car with two other women I met at the ...

A Little Subtlety…Dingle’s Quiet Charm
Blog: A Little Adrift - A RTW Travelogue - 4 November 2009
Dingle is a gem; this quiet little unassuming peninsula lies just north of the Ring of Kerry but is a world apart in terms of pace and welcome. And although nearly all the Irish you meet are ready with a warm “hello” and a bit of friendly chat, the welcome on Dingle Peninsula is particularly open. Most of the Dingle peninsula is a Gaeltacht area, which means that Irish is the first spoken language. That’s what makes it so fantastic. Everyone still also speaks English, but in this tiny pocket of ...
