The Dingle peninsula & Slea Head

 

The Dingle Peninsula is a ‘Gaeltacht’ area where most people speak Irish as their first language. Your tour will take you to the most westerly point in Ireland passing magnificent beaches and dramatic mountains. Places of interest here include The Blasket Islands, Gallarus Oratory (an early Christian church from the 6th century) and The Beehive Huts (tiny houses over 4,000 years old). The film ‘Ryan’s Daughter was filmed on Slea Head on the peninsula in 1970. On the way home you will stop off at Inch beach to stretch your legs and enjoy the Atlantic breeze!
