Dingle Peninsula County Kerry

As I skimmed tour books before the trip, most directed you towards Ring of Kerry. So when we discussing possible places to visit, our B&B host was comfortable enough to ask … Why does everyone want to go to the Ring Kerry? I explained that most tour books list it as one of the top ten places to visit. Encouraging her to continue, she indicated that if we could only make one place on the west coast … her suggestion was to skip the Ring of Kerry and go to Dingle Peninsula.

It did not disappoint. However, we were unable to drive the full length of the peninsula; even with the long days, we were running low on daylight. It is on the return list to take a day and meander my way around the point.
