A self-guided walk around the ancient villages and spectacular rocky coastline of the Dingle Peninsula.
From £729 per person
The Dingle Way Highlights trail takes in the most fascinating section of the Dingle Way, showcasing a wealth of local history and Irish culture.
Starting on the shores of Dingle Bay, the trail heads across the peninsula and visits a series of historic sites, such as the 16th century castle at Minard. The walk wanders along sandy bays and old military roads, and explores the ancient landscape of Slea Head, complete with impressive 'beehive' huts perched on the hillside.
There are also plenty of amazing settlements to explore, including Dunquin, a Gaeltacht village where the Irish language has survived and traditional Irish culture still thrives.
