The Dingle Peninsula pushes out into the Atlantic at the far southwestern edge of Europe, carrying with it more history, mythology and raw coastal beauty than most regions twice its size.

The Dingle Way loops 179 kilometres / 111 miles around its entirety, passing prehistoric ring forts and beehive huts built by early Christian monks, climbing into the mountains above Dingle town and dropping back down to fishing villages where Irish is still the first language.

The cobblestoned backstreets, the ancient oratories, the light over the Blasket Islands at dusk. This is a corner of Ireland that stays with you long after you've left it.
