Hike the Dingle Peninsula
The Dingle Peninsular, located at the foot of Slievanea Mountain and strategically situated on a natural port, is one of Ireland's most beautiful natural beauties. Dingle Peninsula gets its name from the town of Dingle. Even when people are speaking in English, the peninsula is also known as Corca Dhuibhne (Corcu Duibne). Corca Dhuibhne, which meaning "spawn or tribe of Duibhne" (a Goddess, a Gaelic clan name), gets its name from the Corco Dhuibhne tath (people, nation) who occupied the peninsula in the Middle Ages and also ruled a number of lands in County Kerry's south and east. It is also the westernmost point on the island and in Europe.
The adjacent town is full of shops, bars, and restaurants, all with a distinct Irish flavor. Dolphin cruises from the Dingle Peninsula are extremely regular, and you can also set sail from here to visit the adjacent Blasket Islands. There are several other sites to see in Dingle, including Rahinnane Castle, Oceanworld, the Eask Tower, and Conors Pass.
