In a few words

Explore the famous Dingle Way , an iconic 179km route that circles the wild Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry. This varied route alternates between quiet country roads, traditional peat bog tracks and forest trails amidst landscapes sculpted by ancient ice ages.

Following the Slieve Mish mountain range , the route offers striking views of ancient red sandstone and glacial valleys extending into the Atlantic Ocean. The only major climb on the route ascends to 600 meters to traverse the ridge of Mount Brandon , the iconic mountain of Saint Brendan between Ballydavid and Cloghane.

At the western tip of the peninsula, the panoramas become spectacular, with the Blasket Islands rising from the ocean opposite the sheltered harbor of Dunquin . Well-marked and accessible to all walking enthusiasts, this long-distance route reveals the natural harbors of Dingle and Ventry in a maritime atmosphere of rare intensity.

The highlights

  • Concerts, shopping and excellent seafood in Dingle
  • Blasket Island and Clogher Beach Cliffs Interpretive Centre
  • Dun an Oir, the "Golden Fort" and the Ballydavid cape
