Dingle Peninsula, Ireland
Also, watch our new movie about the shops and pubs of Dingle:
We are at the western edge of Europe visiting Dingle on the Atlantic coast of Ireland. We are taking a drive out into the countryside to the Slea Head panoramic loop with marvelous scenery, lots of green hills, sheep, stone walls and archaeological sites. This is some of the best scenery in Ireland if not the world.
Dingle is out on the peninsula a little bit hard to get to and yet it's one of the nicest places in Ireland - it's got the urban charm of the town but it's a small town, and has beautiful natural countryside we explore in this episode.
Most visitors find the real attraction is the surrounding areas with the beautiful countryside and the historic sites, with a few minute’s drive you’re at the edge of town and in the countryside almost immediately. Driving from Dingle out around the peninsula and back again is just about 25 miles so you can easily do it in half a day while stopping to look at the sites. We're lucky that some of Ireland's prehistory is still quite visible with stone structures that have survived for thousands of years. The :beehive hut” stone domes site was occupied until about 1200 A.D. by which time it had evolved into a farmstead for an extended family with the habitation site and with the corrals and room for livestock farm buildings and storage places.
DINGLE: OUR FAVOURITE TOWN SO FAR - IRELAND ROAD TRIP
Next on our Ireland road trip, we visit the Dingle Peninsula and take you with us on a drive along the beautiful Slea Head loop. The Wild Atlantic Way is one of the most stunning coasts we've ever seen during our travels! We had some great weather and were able to see as far as the Skellig and Blasket islands which we couldn't see on our first drive because of the fog. We didn't cover all of the Dingle Peninsula but the town is so cute and we enjoyed a beer at Dick Mack's pub before making our way to make new friends in Limerick.

We drove around the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The drive took us along the Dingle Peninsula Loop and Slea Head Drive. Shot in October 2014.
Drive the DINGLE PENINSULA | Things to do in DINGLE| Ireland (2of2)
In part 1 we drove the Ring of Kerry in a day and now it's time to drive the Slea Head Drive on the Dingle Peninsula in a day and compare!
Which one is more stunning?
Spending the night in Dingle town, we got to feel the charm and tradition of Ireland. Colourful shops, pubs and B&B's make this an exciting and delightful place to stay over.
Join as we have a few drinks in Dick Mack's, the Dingle pub and end the night in An Droichead Beag for some toe tapping accordion music and Guinness.
Starting our drive in a clockwise route the next morning, we hug the coastline and soon arrive at Fahan and the Beehive Huts. There are two places to stop, the second is larger and has better facilities if you need the toilet on route. (Probably the last stop before you have completed the Slea Head Drive)
The road starts cutting into the cliff face and the narrow winding roads start to become challenging, especially if you meet a car coming in the other direction.
There are various stopping points where a few cars at a time can pull in safely. The Slea Head Cross is one of those.
Dunquin, near the ferries entrance has some stunning walks along the rugged coast. Take a detour off the Sleu Head route follow the signs for the ferries and you will soon arrive!
In all you could drive round in about an hour but with all the stops you need to do expect to spend at least 3 or 4 hours on this amazing drive.
Back in Dingle there is a second attraction that many forget or don’t see if on a tour. Conor Pass. Heading out of Dingle north you start to climb the hills quickly and your ears soon pop as you rise up over 2000 ft.
Conor Pass on a good day ( we had a bad wet day) offers panoramic views across Ireland. Top tip: don’t just stop at the top and come back into Dingle, carry on the drive all the way back down before it re-joins the N86 near Camp. You won’t regret it!

The Ring of Dingle - Ireland's Dingle Peninsula
The Dingle Peninsula in Southwestern Ireland is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The area has been designated an area of special interest by the government in order to help preserve the unique Celtic culture and language. Gaelic is the offical language but in consideration of the tourists English is widely spoken but most of the signs are in Gaelic. If you like unspoiled natuaral scenery, The Ring of Dingle is a must see.
Ireland Adventure through Tig Slea Head and the Dingle Peninsula!
Here's a look at the first two days in Ireland. Notice the first minute or so of the video was taken as soon as we were on the ground. Imagine that weather in temperatures that felt close to 40° and you'll understand how depressing Ireland can be when the weather doesn't cooperate. The rest of the video was taken our second day once the sun finally came out and we drove around the Dingle Peninsula and past Tig Slea Head. More to come including shots of Connor Pass and Lady's View!

The Dramatic and Beautiful Slea Head Drive
Driving around Slea Head on the westernmost tip of Ireland, I’m enjoying the travelers’ hat trick: Venturing along a tiny road, being out in the early evening when things are quiet and the light is nice, and having the company of a good local guide (to do the driving so I can enjoy the view). Without a local guide like Colm (of Dingle Slea Head Tours), you could drive right by the ruined famine cottages and the corduroy fields without knowing that those faint ridges are the furrows planted in 1848 then never harvested and never touched since. (As the population is less than half of what it was pre-famine, that land was no longer worth working.)

EPIC VIEWS on the Slea Head Drive in Dingle, Ireland
We recently did a week-long road trip across Ireland and were blown away by the endless rolling green hills and dramatic coastal views! In particular, the Slea Head Drive on the Dingle Peninsula was the highlight of our trip. This is definitely one of, if not the, most scenic drives that we have ever done. Hope you enjoy some of the sights from Dingle!
