Scenic drive from Dingle Town to the Dingle Peninsula and back.

Loved this area, along with Connemara, our favourites of a week's driving tour. As a big Ryan's Daughter fan, I was thrilled to visit, again after 25 years, this area made famous in the film.Some wonderful coastal views, all feels more open and quieter than the R of K, much shorter of course. Glad we made the 2 hour + journey from St Finan's Bay to enjoy it all again. Some fine archaeological sites too. Highlight is the small spectacular beach of Dunquin. Last time, we also got over to Great Blasket island, a fine trip in itself.

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 !

Beautiful scenic drive with stopping points on the way inckuding the wonderful chocolate factory where you can stop and have a drink of hot chocolate and sample the chocolate being made on the premises and then enjoy the view of the skelligs rock from the unspolit beach of st finians bay. A must drive for any tourist in the area

We made this drive after leaving Waterford and heading to Cahir. It is a beautiful drive full of nice vistas out in the country - well worth a trip. We made several scenic drives somewhat similar to this during our 16 days in Ireland - Caha Pass, Conor Pass, etc. It's nice to take some time to get away from all the tour busses and major crowds at all the big tourist attractions and just enjoy some quieter time in the beautiful Irish countryside. Make the effort to get here - you won't be sorry ...

How can I put this stretch of road and coast into words? Just breathing, magical, peaceful, beautiful, quiet, magnificent.... Take your time when driving and stop at all things you see. So much to take in. Take plenty of licsture but take moments to close your eyes, breathe and be in the moment. So many fun things along the way and even made some new friends

A lovely unspoilt part of Co Clare. Cliffs and seaviews are amazing. There is a large stack running parallel to the top of the cliff face. Much quieter than the Cliffs of Moher but equally as impressive. Many lovely wee towns on this route.

A single lane, one way loop drive up to Mahon Falls is worth the effort. The falls in the distance flows with vigor, and is an easy traverse up the side of the hill for those a little more adventurous. No facilities in the parking lot. Bountiful sheep roaming the countryside to keep you company with their excrement not too far behind so be wary where you walk. As you walk up, take time to look back at the valley below, and the Celtic Sea farther out. On a semi clear day like we had, it was a lovely view.
