Dingle Peninsula

The seascape of the Dingle Peninsula varies from rocky cliffs to wide sandy beaches, with views out over Dingle Bay to the hazy blue mountains of the Inveragh Peninsula, and to the wide mouth of the River Shannon from Brandon Bay and Tralee Bay. At the far tip of the Peninsula, the cliffside road on Slea Head gives a panoramic view of the Great Blasket Island.

At the "The City of Fahan" area, the Dunbeg Fort is an Iron Age fort at the edge of sheer sea cliffs. Archaeological excavations at the fort have identified two periods of activity ---- 8th and 9th Century, and 10th and 11th Century. Nearby, Caher Conor is a group of five dry-stone "Beehive Huts".
