Things to do in Dingle, Province of Munster: The Best Ancient Ruins
Perched on the hem of the Atlantic in Ireland's southwest, charming Dingle looks out over Dingle Bay to the Blasket Islands. Chock full of friendly pubs where live traditional music plays, the Irish-speaking area fills to the brim with tourists on weekends and through summer. Another regular visitor to Dingle's Gulf Stream-warmed waters is Fungi, the dolphin, the town's unofficial mascot. Popular tourist attractions include the beaches, Mount Brandon and Ballydavid and Ballyferriter villages.

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.

Ancient church built over 1,000 years ago.
Reviewed By WeDreamOfTravel - Texas, United States
Amazing original, 7th-century oratory. No mortar was used to construct it; the stones are perfectly fitted together to create the dry and solid structure that has stood the test of time. The area is very peaceful and away from towns. A parking lot and a small visitors' center welcome guests before they proceed along the walkway to the oratory. With only one window and one doorway, the cosy inside of the oratory is rather dark and free from distractions outside, perfect for someone praying inside 1,400 years ago. If you are in this area of Ireland, this is a spot you should consider adding to your itinerary. It's not every day we can enter a 6th century building that is in such fabulous condition.
