The Dingle Way
The Dingle Way offers perhaps the finest scenery of all the long-distance walks in Kerry. With the Atlantic ocean never far from view, you can enjoy magnificent peaks and rolling hills with offshore islands providing a dramatic backdrop. The Dingle Way also enjoys some of the best beaches and coves on the west coast. Western Dingle is an Irish speaking (Gaeltacht) area and is rich in history and culture with a strong archaeological heritage. It travels from village to village where you can enjoy cosy pubs and a lively traditional music scene. The entire route is 179km (112 miles).
