Trekking Ireland's Dingle Peninsula With Its Magnificent Views



The spectacular Dingle Peninsula on the West Coast of Ireland, is a beautifully rugged coastline fringing incredibly green pastures that stretch as far as the eye can see. This wild, and often uninhabitable coastline offers complete solitude - with only the occasional small herd of sheep or goats to be seen.

Spectacular views of mist-covered mountains vie with the wild stretches of coastline where deep fissures have been carved by centuries upon centuries of pounding Atlantic Ocean. The Dingle
Peninsula is a great place to spend a week, walking and taking in the Irish air.



This is a stronghold of Irish language and traditions. It is steeped in history and mythology. Nowhere else in Europe will you find a landscape with such a variety of archaeological monuments - including the famed beehive huts. The remoteness and lack of any large-scale agriculture has preserved the Dingle Peninsula's archaeological heritage and provides a fantastic trekking experience.
