Annascaul, in the heart of the Dingle Peninsula, is a village that celebrates the spirit of adventure and the beauty of rural Ireland. This is where Tom Crean, the famous polar explorer, was born, and his legacy of adventure can be felt everywhere, from the South Pole Inn he founded to the Tom Crean Festival, which inspires budding explorers.
Annascaul’s lake, surrounded by rolling green hills, offers a peaceful panorama for walkers and fishermen, while the nearby beaches of Inch and Minard are jewels of sand and surf, capturing the raw essence of Ireland’s Atlantic coast.
The village itself is a web of community and tradition, where local craftsmen share their art and the gastronomy reflects the richness of local produce. Every street corner is an invitation to linger, every smile a story.
