Talk about 'WOW'! The drive up heading north/south was steady and pleasant and then we got to the pass itself which is indeed narrow and right on the cliff edge! My friend who was driving loved it and the challenge - I just looked right away from the sheer drop alongside us! Completely worth it though of course because as soon as we reached the car park at the summit of the road path, the views back across the valley were quite simply breathtaking! Then a pleasantly steady descent down into Dingle to steady the nerves!!

Scenic drive from Dingle Town to the Dingle Peninsula and back.
Reviewed By Scotlandmac - Glasgow, United Kingdom
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.
4. Mount Brandon

Our family of 4 started our Mount Brandon hike from the Baile Breac car park on a rainy day in July 2019. I'll say right away, that we did not reach the summit. I was disappointed, but I didn't want to push my family on if they were not feeling the hike that day. This was our 7th day in Ireland, with everyday being almost constant rain, and our 5th hike. We had hiked a little over an hour, had passed several crosses, when someone suggested maybe we had gone far enough. Knowing the best thing to do, always, is to not be control, I agreed with the decision to turn around. I've got to say though, the summit of Mount Brandon is still calling to me. :) Nevertheless, this is a beautiful hike through sheep fields, sometimes seemingly straight up vertically, with amazing views of the coastline. It was a cloudy day, so our views were constantly changing with the passing clouds and fleeting rays of sunlight. A magical pilgrimage trail, worth everyone's visit, no matter how far up you hike.

Family Run Mountain&Beach Riding For All Levels Good Selection Of Irish Cobs Emphasis on Safety but above All else Fun Situated on The Dingle Peninsula
Reviewed By FlannoJ - County Kildare, Ireland
Our family of 3 went for a morning of riding through Ventry hills and beach last week. Due to how busy the beach was it was changed to the hill trek for safety reasons-it didn't matter one bit. It was a fabulous experience with beautiful and patient horses and spectacular views over Ventry bay and hills. The day itself was a lovely sunny one and it was a peaceful easy going trek. My husband and son were a little nervous to begin but the guides were great for putting us all at ease and took good care of everyone. I saw them disinfecting all the gear afterwards which was really reassuring. Thanks for a lovely morning guys! I really recommend it!!!
