The Dingle Peninsula is home to one of Ireland's most epic and scenic roads the Slea Head Drive. In this video, we visit the only town on the peninsula, DINGLE for some charming colourful buildings, excellent nightlife and food.
If you missed part 1 we drove the Ring of Kerry in a day with more stunning locations and attractions so do check that out!
Spending the night in Dingle town, we got to feel the charm and tradition of Ireland. Colourful shops, pubs and B&Bs make this an exciting and delightful place to stay.
Join us as we have a few drinks in Dick Mack's, the Dingle pub and end the night in An Droichead Beag for some toe-tapping accordion music and Guinness.
Starting our drive in a clockwise route the next morning, we hug the coastline and soon arrive at Fahan and the Beehive Huts. There are two places to stop, the second is larger and has better facilities if you need the toilet on route. (Probably the last stop before you have completed the Slea Head Drive)
The road starts cutting into the cliff face and the narrow winding roads become challenging, especially if you meet a car coming in the other direction.
There are various stopping points where a few cars at a time can pull in safely. The Slea Head Cross is one of those.
Dunquin, near the ferry's entrance, has some stunning walks along the rugged coast. Take a detour off the Slea Head route follow the signs for the ferries and you will soon arrive!
In all, you could drive round in about an hour but with all the stops you need to do expect to spend at least 3 or 4 hours on this amazing drive.
Back in Dingle, there is a second attraction that many forget or don’t see on a tour. Conor Pass. Heading out of Dingle north you start to climb the hills quickly and your ears soon pop as you rise up over 2000 ft.
Conor Pass on a good day ( we had a bad wet day) offers panoramic views across Ireland. Top tip: don’t just stop at the top and come back into Dingle, carry on the drive all the way back down before it re-joins the N86 near Camp. You won’t regret it!
