Experience the magic of the
Dingle Peninsula located in
the Southwest of Ireland

 

 

 

 

 

The Dingle Peninsula is a kind of paradise for walkers. There are lots of lanes and pathways away from traffic where you can walk for hours, along cliffs, up and down mountains and hills, on beaches and near the sea.

There are two way-marked walking routes, the Dingle Way and the Pilgrims' Route.

The Dingle Way – Slí Chorca Dhuibhneis 178 km (112 mi.) in length. The walk begins in Tralee, overlooking Tralee Bay, and then swings southwest across the peninsula from Camp to look down on Dingle Bay while you ramble inland to Annascaul, and then on to Dingle Town. From Dingle the route continues west around Slea Head to Dunquin, with magnificent views of the Blasket Islands to the west and beautiful coastal cliffs to the north.Then the trail turns back along the north coast of the peninsula, past Smerwick Harbour , and continues on below the massive Brandon Mountain, Ireland's second highest peak and named for St. Brendan the Voyager

A high pass will bring you to the village of Cloghane , east of Brandon , and then the route continues along coastal beaches to Castlegregory and the Maharees, ultimately ending back in Tralee .

The Pilgrims Route covers some 48 km (30 mi.) and connects many of the early Christian sites for which the Dingle Peninsula is renowned. It begins in Dingle, turns south in Ventry, then north to Riasc, wandering over to Kilmalkedar Church along the older Saints Road, and then by green track and minor road to Cloghane.

In addition to these two way-marked routes, there are many other walks all around the peninsula that will suit every ability and age. Information and locally-produced maps and booklets on these walks can be obtained from the Tourist Information Centres in Camp, Annascaul, Dingle, Cloghane and Castlegregory
