Eask Tower

Reviewed By macbethLivingston

Unbelievable views of lovely Dingle Bay and sheep to accompany you along the 30-minute climb! Wear washable shoes as you’ll need to clean them with a hose (provided by gate keeper Mary) after walking in sheep droppings!

Dingle Peninsula

Reviewed By pupumann0 - Ballycastle, United Kingdom

Cant believe this is my first review of anything dingle related - it truest must be on everyone’s bucket list - the peninsula is very rugged and rural full of beautiful vistas and landscapes and peppered with ancient ogham stones cairns and clachan! And around every corner a wonderful country pub or eatery ! Go south out of Dingle as road is narrow and mostly people use this clockwise road route ;-) slea head is a highlight look out for off road historic sites We visited the group if ogham ancient stones at Colaiste Ide just outside Dingle town at Ventry ! A true highlight not to be missed is the visit to the blanket island interpretive Centre , amazing design very thought provoking and a place for mindfulness and delicious home made food in their cafe mmm rhubarb crumble :-) Everywhere you drive there are remnants of old so photo opportunities everywhere ! No wonder they filmed Star Wars there ! Just go !

Hussey's Folly

Reviewed By ttturpin

We went walking to the tower in the morning. There is a gravel path, but you can also walk along the beach. It’s just a small tower, but a lovely time to experience dingle without tourists.

Blennerville Windmill

Reviewed By T8667AKkimb - Dublin, Ireland

Myself and my family had such an enjoyable tour of this windmill. We were aged from 2 to 60 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Donal was our tour guide and not only was he a fountain of knowledge he was so funny and great with my 5 year old daughter. The tour is very interactive which keeps it engaging. There are some lovely photo opportunities afterwards of the windmill aswell as a lovely miniature train tracks. Would highly recommend a visit.
