A short walking holiday from Camp to Dunquin around the spectacular Dingle Peninsula.
From £510 per person
Starting in the village of Camp, beneath the Slieve Mish Mountains, the Dingle Way Short Break follows three of the best days along this fascinating hike through traditional Ireland; an ideal walk for those with less time who wish to experience the charm of the South West.
The first day heads through the countryside down towards the village of Annascaul, where traditional Irish music fills the local pubs. The trail continues following the coastline towards the fishing town of Dingle, great for local seafood and witnessing dolphins in the harbour. The trail finishes with a last day exploring the ancient landscape around Slea Head as it makes its way to the village of Dunquin, a Gaeltacht village where the Irish language still prevails.
Getting a sense of Irish culture and customs and perhaps even listening to traditional Irish music.
Admiring the varied scenery, from the crashing waves and dramatic cliffs of the coastline, to the mist-covered mountains and the lush green fields stretching into the distance.
Exploring the archaeological heritage of the Dingle peninsula, with beehive huts and ancient villages.

Please be aware that the advertised distances below are based on the optional shortest days available when hiking. An optional taxi transfer is included on the morning of Days 3 which cuts out a short distance from the day to create the advertised distance.
To ensure that you are accommodated within close proximity of restaurants, cafes or pubs for your evening meal, our preferred itinerary for the Dingle Way does involve some short transfers. These are all pre-arranged and included in the cost of the holiday.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour.

We do not expect you to have to walk more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard.
