Barr Na Haille, Dingle

Overlooking Dingle Bay is the delightful town of Dingle which sits on a beautiful peninsula and boasts a fabulous harbour as well as a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Offering lovely beaches and stunning surrounding countryside, this lively town offers a host of activities for all the family, including great walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding, golfing and a range of watersport facilities. So, whether it’s a trip to the Oceanworld aquarium for the whole family or a day out to the beach at Coumeenoole or for the grown-ups, a fascinating trip to Gallarus Oratory (thought to be Ireland’s oldest intact building) or indulge in a tour of the Dingle Distillery. Jump in the car and head to Tralee which is a short drive away and boasts an excellent range of pubs and eateries as well as the Tralee Aqua Dome which is one of the largest water parks in Ireland or for something a little more sedate, pay a visit to the museum and theatre in the town. The bustling town of Killarney is well worth a visit too with some beautiful scenery to check out along the way including Ladies’ View, named after Queen Victoria’s ladies in waiting and boasts simply spectacular views over the town, which is the ideal base to do some walking, hiking and cycling in nearby Killarney National Park. Whether you want gentle walks along stunning beaches, or adrenaline-fuelled sports and activities in the countryside, County Kerry has it all.
