Dingle: An Introduction
Situated in County Kerry on the Dingle Peninsula into the Atlantic Ocean, Dingle sits on the banks of a natural harbour and at the Foot of the Slievanea mountain. The town of Dingle is one of the major tourism highlights in Ireland with stunning natural beauty combined with a atmospheric town and excellent entertainment.
The town of Dingle sits in an Irish speaking area called a Gaeltacht which means it is a hotbed of Irish culture and language. Most pubs in Dingle will have live traditional music played nightly.
One of the major attractions to Dingle is Fungie the bottlenose dolphin who lives in Dingle harbour. Fungie turns up for all boats touring the harbour with such reliability that an industry has sprung up around him. Fungie was first spotted in 1984 by the Dingle Lighthouse keeper who noticed the dolphin escorting fishing boats in and out of the harbour.
One of the main highlights of visiting Dingle is to tour around the Dingle Peninsula. There are so many areas of natural beauty to be see including the Blasket Islands and Connors Pass. There are countless opportunities to get out of your car and walk.
It is important to book B&B accommodation in Dingle early, particularly during the Summer months to avoid disappointment. If you wish to visit Dingle with your rental car, our location in either Cork City, Cork Airport or Shannon Airport are ideal.
