Dingle Way

At the start the Dingle Way leads along a canal to the Blennerville windmill. Shortly afterwards the path climbs gently and leads along a mountain side with wonderful views of Tralee Bay. The path is rocky and can be muddy in bad weather. The varied vegetation makes the first stage an entertaining pleasure.

You hop from one stone to the next across the Finglass River, then it goes steadily uphill. The view over the surrounding peaks and the nearby sea is magnificent, with only sheep and birds keeping you company today. Shortly afterwards, the long sandy beach of Inch Beach spreads out in front of you. Wild roses and orchids line the path that takes you to the small village of Annascaul.

With the exception of the ruins of Minard Castle, the first half of today's stage is not very spectacular. If you want to avoid hiking on tarred roads, you can avoid the first section by bus (excl.). From Lispole there is a wonderful stretch that takes you past farms and over countless sheep pastures. Today's destination is the lively small town of Dingle.
