The Dingle Way sits in the far South west of Ireland on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry. It is a 179Km Trail that takes in the whole peninsula in a loop from Tralee and back.
The trail is a real delight for all the senses from high passes, old boreen tracks to wonderful sandy beaches with waves crashing in from the Atlantic Ocean.The Dingle Way, Ireland Dingle itself the main town on this small peninsula is one of my favourite town’s in Ireland. A small fishing village that is alive with Irish music from many of it’s great pubs, Great restaurants and wonderful atmosphere. Dingle is also in a Gaeltacht area (Irish Speaking Location) and full of Irish Culture, music and dance. I have suggested a day to stop in Dingle, because I’m sure you may find it difficult to leave..
