Beginning at Tralee, 1 hour from Ballingarry, the Dingle peninsula like the ring of Kerry has a spectacularly scenic peripheral road. Tiny villages are situated in coastal pockets along the route. The Blasket Islands are situated 3 miles off Dunquin Pier and there is a ferry crossing available.
Dingle is the most westerly town in Europe and the chief town of the peninsula. A progressive town, it still retains much of the old world atmosphere of a fishing village.
Take time out to recharge and stay at The Mustard Seed at Echo Lodge. Check in early and enjoy walking in the surrounding country lanes, take a hike to the top of Knockfernia and view the house from the highest point of Co. Limerick or spend the afternoon browsing in nearby Adare village. Enjoy a four course dinner menu in the restaurant, renouned for fine food and genuine hospitality. Stay overnight in one of the individually decorated bedrooms where a great nights sleep is assured. Breakfast the following morning includes free range eggs from our own hens (if they're in form!). Relax with the newspapers before your reluctant departure.
