Dingle Peninsula, Ireland

travel videos & photos at: townsofeurope.... with text, maps & links.
Also, watch our new movie about the shops and pubs of Dingle: • Dingle, Ireland, shops...
We are at the western edge of Europe visiting Dingle on the Atlantic coast of Ireland. We are taking a drive out into the countryside to the Slea Head panoramic loop with marvelous scenery, lots of green hills, sheep, stone walls and archaeological sites. This is some of the best scenery in Ireland if not the world.
Dingle is out on the peninsula a little bit hard to get to and yet it's one of the nicest places in Ireland - it's got the urban charm of the town but it's a small town, and has beautiful natural countryside we explore in this episode.
Most visitors find the real attraction is the surrounding areas with the beautiful countryside and the historic sites, with a few minute’s drive you’re at the edge of town and in the countryside almost immediately. Driving from Dingle out around the peninsula and back again is just about 25 miles so you can easily do it in half a day while stopping to look at the sites. We're lucky that some of Ireland's prehistory is still quite visible with stone structures that have survived for thousands of years. The :beehive hut” stone domes site was occupied until about 1200 A.D. by which time it had evolved into a farmstead for an extended family with the habitation site and with the corrals and room for livestock farm buildings and storage places.

Ireland, Scotland, Wales & the rest of the country (farmland) seems to be such a beautiful place. It's rolling hills and emerald landscapes are just spectacular.

[@jennifercuddy5663]

It is.

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

Ireland is a separate island all it's own, whilst both Scotland & Wales are part of the United Kingdom & are separate from Ireland. Also, within all countries you mentioned, there's not only the country/farmland to see, but of course, many wee to larger cities, so too, so many historical sites to witness. But getting very "off topic" here, there are also many global regions, far removed from these countries, that are equally, if not more beautiful abound, so far as the green scenery & general architecture, flora & fauna etc;. For eg: I have travelled across all continents, numerous times & I have witnessed grand beauty, that's out of this world, including too, many incredibly lush/verdant locations. I can say, hand on heart, that Ireland is not the only green country, albeit, it's very green, much of the time, although these days with our hotter climate, it's green hues can be compromised & start to appear quite dull/pale abound, until the rains return.

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

Ireland is so beautiful, Dingle Peninsula is just stunning & almost dream like in it's ethereal & mysterious beauty & the Irish people are just, Wow! The best & they're the ones who just make this country so very incredible! I feel very blessed to have walked on Irish soil & I will definitely return asap. Dennis Callan's videos are very enjoyable to watch.

no way! he got a whole peninsula

[@PrismRisen]

Well done, Dennis Callan. This video and commentary create a good feel for the Dingle Peninsula. Our group of four (me, my wife Rose [maiden name Casey[) her sister and brother in law) visited Ireland in late October-early November 2000. We were based in Killarney and the most of a day touring Dingle was one of the highlights. I was the driver of our Toyota Land Cruiser, and my skill (+luck) in managing the left side of the road are legendary in our family. My brother-in-law was Eddie "Abe" Abramoski, the head trainer for the Buffalo Bills NFL team, from their inception in 1960, until he retired in 1997. Eddie wore some Bills gear every day of our 13 in Ireland, and on at least 11 occasions, a stranger would approach him to say they were a Bills fan! Eddie passed June 24, 2022, at 88. It was a splendid vacation with splendid people, and we often reminisce about it. My sister-in-law is Pat, and our favorite restaurant was Pat's, in the Arbutus Hotel, Killarney. As it happens, a store named "Casey's" (electronics plus alcoholic beverages) was across the street. The Bills play today, at 1:00 ET (it's now approaching noon) vs. the Miami Dolphins, in the first round of postseason games. I'm now a subscriber of your channel.

[@denniscallan]

From one Dennis to another, thank you for that wonderful memory and tale of your Killarney adventures. It really is a misunderstood place, not just a haven for bus tours, but an authentic, beautiful town with much to see, and many fine restaurants, with excellent nearby attractions.

[@pawelcitak83]

Been there once, charming little place on earth.

[@paullynch647]

Great to ride along with your video. Drank at Murphy’s in Dingle and ate at the Half Door and Doyle’s famous seafood Restaurant. Loved Dingle town!

[@ayazaazy1990]

Greetings from india Thank you for bringing this to us, loved the way you ve explored and explained about Dingle, a must visit place in Ireland.

[@samanthagaudet1461]

Hope to be there this fall. We are looking at 28 days in Ireland. Great video. Thank you.

[@AlonsoRules]

England has Cornwall. Ireland has Dingle. Both are stunners. The next closest land mass to that western most point is St Johns, Newfoundland.

[@hehe29st]

Been there 2 weeks ago and for me, it is the most beautiful place on planet...actually, thinking of moving there, if only I win the lottery 🙏😊. joke aside, Dingle is definitely my kind of place ❤️

[@dianarusso1375]

I spent a summer in Ireland and dingle was one of my favorites .Watching your movie was like being there again...Love it thank you so much!

Amazing. We spent over a month in Ireland, mostly in Wexford but we journeyed over to Cahersiveen and Valentia island. Soo beautiful and the people were fantastic. Thanks for sharing this -Henry

[@LongToeYT]

Valentia is the best

Unfortunately fungi the dolphin is missing the past week. They fear he may have died to. Still searching for him so fingers crossed 🤞

Loved Dingle in May of 2018. We had a cold rain day but it was a great afternoon

We were just there two weeks ago. Went all over the island but Dingle was one of our favorites. Dinner at Fenton's was the best we had in all of Ireland. Great video!

[@beads2yarn]

Outstanding!!!!! What a great video.. I’ll be in Ireland next July, but don’t think I can make it to Dingle... too bad because you stirred a longing in my heart to see this beautiful place... thank you 😊

J'ai visité Dingle il y a une vingtaine d'années. Un endroit magnifique et très cool.

[@Traveljet14]

Thank you for sharing. Truly lovely !

[@rileynatalie]

Just beautiful! I’ll never see it, sadly, as I’m deathly (and irrationally) afraid of flying… so I live vicariously through the internet lol that man at the hut ticket window seemed very uninterested in entertaining ur simple question as to whom he believed lived in the bee hive huts 😂

[@denniscallan]

Yes, even Irish can be grouchy sometimes, maybe because he's stuck in a little booth.

[@muddhammer7834]

Someday, someday.

Well, I’d love one of those empty vacation homes!

Nice. We were there in May as well. I’ll watch your other Dingle video. Hopefully you mention the best thing about Dingle in it, Fungi! Also, the Half Door restaurant in Dingle was the BEST place we ate in the whole country.

[@Novanova501]

Fungi is missing past week now

Lambo CK I saw. Hopefully he’s swimming in the waters above the firmament now.

Thank you for such a wonderful video. This video shows us what visitors will actuall see and experience. Much better than lots of drone videos which is for the birds.😁

[@oma148]

nice video....a few corrections though....many of the bee hive huts aren't genuine and have been erected for tourist.... also The Quiet Man was filmed in Cong, not Dingle.....

[@denniscallan]

You are correct, not in Dingle (I got bad internet info). Primarily filmed in Cong - County Mayo. Some parts also filmed in County Galway, at Oughterard - Lettergesh Beach -Ballyglunin and Maam Train Station. I don't doubt the beehive huts have been "stabilized" if not rebuilt, but they seem to be in the original style.

[@geraldneary1948]

Troll are you gay.

[@johnobrien3853]

My surname is O' BRIEN and hails from the kingdom aka co.kerry .....tralee and listowel that way FUNGHI the 🐬 i think is gone probably passed away sadly Mind you why wouldn't this pretty little thing pick co.kerry as his settling home. 😁🖐

[@Carolitoh]

I really liked this video of Dingle. One point, they don’t speak Irish but Gaelic.

[@geraldneary1948]

They speak Irish.

[@bridgetmurphy4826]

The national language spoken in some areas and taught in all schools, is called Irish. It is not known as Gaelic in everyday speach.

[@Angofar]

Irish is Gaelic. Spelt Gaeilge in Irish if you see what I mean. Most people speak Hiberno- English which our ancestors were coerced into. It's been an uphill battle to bring back the language as it was taught very badly in school . Still many still make the effort

[@ampersand.]

The beehive huts were considerably restored in the 19th century - they`re not the original structures :D

😢

[@devonseamoor]

The title of this video is misleading. Dingle Peninsula is the starting and returning point of a tour through that part of Ireland. It's not about Dingle itself. Just be clear and name the video in sync with its content, okay?

[@denniscallan]

Are you unable to read the two words in the title? It says Dingle Peninsula, which is exactly what the video is all about, the beautiful peninsula, with a little bit of Dingle town included at the end, around 16:30. If you want Dingle town, I've got that one also here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXqvgJSLfqhko7s

[@slaneyside]

did you not go out and see Fungie the dolphin? he was a beautiful soul and probably the biggest tourist attraction in the area...when i went there with my son it appeared like the whole town was built around Fungie...you could get on a boat to go around the harbour and Fungie would come out to every single boat and delight the passengers with his playful nature...the poor fella dissappeared a couple of years ago and as he was well over 40 years old it is assumed he passed away...he gave so much happiness to visitors and wealth to the town i feel terribly sad he went away and died on his own without knowing how much he was loved 😢

[@denniscallan]

I never did get to see him.
