First and foremost, the Dingle Peninsula offers its inhabitants and visitors a territory stretching over 160km. The Peninsula is made up of a succession of bays, beaches, cliffs and plains, sometimes turning into steeper, wilder terrain, reaching impressive altitudes.

A number of vertiginous cliffs offer superb ocean views!

A little further inland, you’ll discover a wilderness bathed in lush greenery, where cottages and other picturesque houses live peacefully amidst the Slieve Mish Mountains and Stradbally Mountain.

Note that some of their Irish lakes are ideal for fishing!

A bastion of Irish culture, the Dingle Peninsula also has the distinction of belonging to the Gaeltacht, a region where the preservation of Ireland’s linguistic and cultural heritage is taken very seriously. So don’t be surprised if you hear Irish spoken here: Irish Gaelic is still spoken in Dingle, and has been for centuries!

Rest assured: while Gaelic is king here, English is not scorned, and you’ll be able to get by with a few stammered words in Shakespeare’s language: the locals will easily understand and make the effort!
