the Dingle Peninsula
The Dingle Peninsula, locally known as Corca Dhuibhne, is a 50 km long stretch of land that protrudes into the Atlantic Ocean at Ireland's south-west coast.
With a solid mountain range as backbone, the peninsula's coastline sports towering and steep cliffs but also long stretches of nice sandy beaches. To the west the now uninhabited Blasket Islands form Europe's most westerly territory.
 
The Dingle Peninsuta, with Dingle at its centre, is a Gaeltacht, one of the few remaining regions in Ireland where Irish is still the primarily spoken language.
 
The landscape is incredibly diverse, from the sandy beaches at Inch, the lush inland glacier valleys to the fantastic panoramas at the rugged coastlines at Coumeenoole and Clogher Head.
 
Several prehistoric or early Christian sites feature Ogham stones, ringforts, beehive refuges and monasteries.
 
 
We visited scenic Dingle Peninsula on a sunny day in June 2018.
