Dingle Way

by: Sandra Bardwell and Jacquetta Megarry
The Dingle Way runs for 114 miles (183 km) around the beautiful Dingle Peninsula, through some of the finest scenery in Ireland's southwest. It starts and finishes in Tralee, accessible by train or bus from Dublin and from Kerry Airport. The complete walk takes most people eight days, but it can easily be shortened.

The Dingle Way follows country lanes, quiet roads, and cliff-top paths, punctuated by long stretches of glorious beach walking with spectacular seascapes and mountain views. The peninsula is rich in wildlife, archaeology, and charming Irish pubs.
