Holidays in Ireland's Gaeltacht - GaelSaoire

Shaped by the surge of the Atlantic Ocean, the Dingle Peninsula is the most westerly point in Europe. The peninsula stretches dramatically westward from the county town of Trá Lí (Tralee) and the village of Caisleán na Mainge (Castlemaine) to the tip of Ceann Sléibhe (Slea Head) and Na Blascaoidí (the Blasket Islands). On its southern shore, the Gaeltacht area begins between the villages of Abhainn an Scáil (Aunascaul) and Lios Póil (Lispole), while on the northern shoulder the boundary is close to the welcoming communities of Bréanainn (Brandon) and An Clochán (Cloghane). The vibrant town of An Daingean (Dingle) is the peninsula's main centre of population with storied Gaeltacht place names like Ceann Trá (Ventry), Dún Chaoin (Dunquin), Baile an Fhirtéaraigh (Ballyferriter), An Fheoghanaigh (Feoghanach), Baile na nGall (Ballydavid) and An Bhlascaod Mhór (the Great Blasket Island) awaiting your discovery. Piled high with mountains and fringed with quiet unpolluted beaches, this colourful holiday destination is a haven for walkers, golfers, surfers, sailors, sightseers and deep-sea fishermen. This is a Gaeltacht with something for everyone on Europe's final western frontier.
