Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Dingle, Province of Munster
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.

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!

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.
7. Gallarus Oratory

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.

It was late In the day. We’d just come from the Gallarus Oratory, and we decided to fin the Kilmalkedar Church in the recommendation of a woman at a gift shop some 20 miles back. It was quite a moment, being there late in the day. No commercial solicitation. Alone entirely. Sun setting low in The sky over the ocean and Mountains. The ogham stone, sun dial, old Large cross, and Latin lettered stone (inside the structure) are remarkable, some dating back to 600 AD. It was a most solemn experience. Beautiful.

Fairly easy to find right off the main road. There is parking along the road and there is rarely anyone else there. We did run into a German film crew who didn't want us there one time, but we ignored them. Watch your step on the rocks, as you can see they are prolific, slippery and wet. Circle all the way around to get nice pictures from all angles. I believe there is a holy well nearby as well.
