| The scenery of the Dingle Peninsula |
This other long peninsula above the Ring of Kerry has kept its original wilderness and to my point is even more spectacular.
It is also an area, which is very rich in pre-Celtic sites, having ringforts, beehives and is home to a well-known early Christian stone oratory.

| Inch Beach |
Starting on the southern side of the promontory, Inch Beach is one of the few existing sand beaches existing in the region
The country road that goes around the peninsula is part of the scenic Wild Atlantic Way. It provides some spectacular views over the ocean.

| Irish poney |
 |
| Local pig |
There are few fishing ports and farming remains the main activity of the region besides its occasional seasonal touristic activities.
 |
| Peninsular sheep |
 |
| Typical stone wall |
As the area is rich in stones, most constructions use this material to build houses from time immemorial up to this day.

View over the Blasket Islands

The coastal road becomes even more dramatic at the tip of the peninsula overlooking the group of the Blasket Islands.
