Dingle Film Walks is a guided-walk company based in Glanageenty, County Kerry. Led by award-winning filmmaker Maurice Galway, the company offers immersive walks and hikes across the Dingle Peninsula that combine cinematic history, archaeology and coastal scenery.
Trips range from a 2.5-hour sunset walk to a full 5-hour Brandon Point circuit; each route highlights film locations, Bronze Age sites, dramatic headlands and hidden waterways. Popular itineraries include the Brandon Point to Sauce/Sas Creek hike with its river, pools and waterfall; the Loch a Dúin walk featuring ancient monuments and rock art; and the Dingle Film Walks signature walk in Dún Chaoin with views of the Blasket Islands and film-location insights. Other offerings guide visitors along the Annascaul lake path to Macha na Bò, and a loop through Glanageenty known locally as the Sherwood Forest of Munster.
Dingle Film Walks provides local knowledge, historical context and photographic opportunities, with options for a warm drink and high-resolution photos on selected departures. The walks are marketed to adults and to travellers seeking deeper stories and memorable scenery rather than high-speed adventure. Meeting locations depend on the chosen route, with local pickup or set trailheads commonly used. Safety, conservation and respect for archaeological sites are integral to the guiding approach. Dingle Film Walks operates on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry and is recognized for blending film history with landscape interpretation, offering a distinctive way to experience the region’s natural and cultural heritage. Bookings are available seasonally and can be arranged in advance online.
