WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Inch beach is a wonderful 5km long stretch of glorious sand and dunes. It is ideal for long walks in summer or winter. It is very popular for surfing, swimming and fishing. It has Blue Flag status which means that it is compliant with European standards for bathing water and it also has lifeguards in the summer months. There are a number of surfing schools on the beach in high season offering wet suit and board hire with or without lessons.
2.
Dingle Town is the only town on the Dingle Peninsula, it sits on the Atlantic coast. Principal industries in the town are tourism, fishing and agriculture
3.
There are beehive houses, or clochán, all over County Kerry, including at the spectacular Skellig Michael. But this particular group is said to be the most remarkable in the country. The exact age of the houses is uncertain, and different theories date them anywhere from the eighth to 12th centuries AD. It’s likely hermit monks and followers of Saint Peter once lived in them, though pagans may have also called some of the cone-shaped structures home even earlier.
4.
The Dingle Peninsula is particularly rich in prehistoric sites- Cashel Murphy, an archaeological site that protected a small pre-Celtic community. It was home to a small colony. It is structured by stepped drystone walls. Inside were 5 beehive-shaped huts (similar to those on Fahan or Skellig Michael). At the time, these huts were home to entire families. The site also had a pen for animals (presumably pigs, sheep and chickens). Surprisingly, Cashel Murphy also boasts an underground passageway, which in the past was used to store large quantities of food supplies. A significant advantage for coping with the harsh Irish winters. According to archaeologists, the underground was also used by families as a hiding place from potential enemies. According to the researchers, Druids performed numerous rituals here until they slowly converted to Christianity from 450 AD onwards.
5.
The Slea Head Loop is a 38km/24 mile route that starts and ends in Dingle Town and that takes in many of the main attractions on the Dingle Peninsula.
6.
Dunquin Pier is located in stunning scenery on a coastal stretch framed by huge cliffs. A narrow road winds its way down to the pier, where the shortest ferry connection to Blasket Islands goes.
7.
The Gallarus Oratory (Irish: Séipéilín Ghallarais) is a chapel on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland. It has been presented variously as an early-Christian stone church by antiquary Charles Smith, in 1756; a 12th-century Romanesque church by archaeologist Peter Harbison in 1970; a shelter for pilgrims by the same in 1994. The local tradition prevalent at the time of Charles Smith attributed it to one Griffith More, being a funerary chapel built by him or his family at their burial place. The oratory overlooks the harbour at Ard na Caithne on the Dingle Peninsula.
8.
The Conor Pass is one of the highest mountain passes in Ireland, and provides the most dramatic and scenic way of crossing from the north to south coast of the Dingle Peninsula. This narrow, twisting road runs for 12kms between the town of Dingle on the south and Kilmore Cross on the north of the peninsula, where roads fork to Cloghane/Brandon or Castlegregory. The views from the road are breathtaking, with a glaciated landscape of mountains, corrie lakes and a broad sweeping valley spread out below.
