Dingle Way Walking Holidays

Path Walkthrough

Gradually rising out of the valley from Camp, the walk continues onto Inch Beach, the small summit of Knockafeehane, before descending into Annascaul. The road departing Annascaul follows the busy Tralee – Dingle road before joining quieter paths falling beside the 16th century Minard Castle.

From Dingle the path makes a descent toward the pier at Dunquin, following cliff and beach out. The path leaves surfaced road and reaches the highest ascent (650m along Mt. Brandon) of the journey. Toward Castlegregory, the path follows Irelands longest beach before making its way along the shore (or cliffs in high-tide).

• Getting There

  By Air: Kerry airport (often referred to as 'Farranfore airport), is a small regional airport with an average of three flights running from London per day.

  For more flight times, it’s worth giving much larger airports such as Cork or Dublin a look. This shouldn't be a problem, although you may find travelling to Dublin or Cork International Airport, with a connecting flight to Kerry or train to Tralee serves your needs better.

  By Rail: A train between Tralee and Dublin should take anywhere between three and a half to four hours:

  Between Cork and Tralee – 1 and a half:

• Best Time to Visit

  The Irish weather is famously changeable, so when it comes to pinpointing the best time to visit - you can only really give an educated guess. However, light conditions up until the end of October are generally favourable and you're less likely to be pestered by insects around early autumn as well. Any time between May and October should be a safe bet for walking through Ireland.

  Irish weather conditions are mild, albeit changeable. Although you're unlikely to experience any extreme weather while you're over, prolonged rain will of course result in muddy/boggy conditions so please dress appropriately. Needless to say, waterproof gear is a must while hiking through Ireland.

  There’s a climb over the shoulder of Mt. Brandon on the day of the Glaise Bheag to Cloghane section and on days with wet weather conditions – visibility is poor. Although hiking this section in high wind is not advised, the walk itself is not technically difficult and you should find the road nothing more than a little rugged. If it's a clear day, you'll be blessed with world-class views from Mt. Brandon, from there it's worth taking a detour to the cosy pubs at Brandon Village.
