Hiking the Dingle Way

Prepare to fall in love with the Wild Atlantic Way in the West of Ireland. The town of Dingle, one of the main stops along The Dingle Way and The Wild Atlantic Way, was once named as ‘the most beautiful place on earth’ by National Geographic and Trip Advisor rated it among the top 100 destinations in the world.

Tralee

You will start The Dingle Way in the busy town of Tralee, famous for its annual Rose of Tralee festival, an international competition celebrated among Irish communities all over the world. Tralee is the starting point of the Kerry Camino, joining the towns of Tralee and Dingle which are popular towns along the Wild Atlantic Way. Read more

1 Night Tralee

Camp

5H | +325m / -251m / 19 km On the way from Tralee to Camp the way passes the entrances to several impressive glacial valleys, a number of streams make their way towards the sea. These are easily crossed by either bridge or stepping stones. Features of interest to keep an eye out for along this mountain section are an old Victorian-era reservoir that used to supply water to Tralee. Towards the end of this section, the trail descends onto a hedge-lined stone path which used to be the old Tralee-Dingle road in the distant past. The preserved ruins of Killelton Oratory can be found alongside the trail here to the left of the path. This part is often used as a cattle drove which means it can get quite mucky. Several stiles have to be crossed before finally reaching a tarmac road. Read more

The walk from Camp to Annascaul is very gentle, predominately along quiet boreens which wind through the countryside, offering views of the mountains and the North Atlantic ocean. When you reach Annascaul you can take a walk on Inch Beach. This is one of the longest beaches on the Wild Atlantic Way and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Read more

Dingle

There are plenty of cafes, pubs, restaurants and other places of interest to explore. You can add an extra day to your itinerary, allowing yourself a sleep in and late breakfast before taking a day off your trek to arrange a boat tour to The Great Blasket Island. The highlights of this area include a boat tour of Dingle Harbour, dive/swim with Fungi the dolphin, drop in to see the good work being done at the Dingle wildlife and seal sanctuary. Try horse trekking on either mountain trails or sandy beaches, feeling energetic and adventurous? visit Irelands largest indoor climbing wall or just enjoy a day off to relax and explore the town at your leisure.

Castlegregory

7H | +87m / -88m / 28km A long day ahead of you on this section of the Wild Atlantic Way but the very mild ascent and decent will help it feel shorter.

If you have a packed lunch with you, you can just have a picnic on the beach. If not there are a few cafes and restaurants in the villages of Faramore and Kilshannig. Read more
