Killarney to Slea Head return:
Setting out from Killarney, you will travel to Castlemaine and onto the beautiful Inch Beach and village of Annascaul. The famous Dingle town follows where you can enjoy freshly caught Atlantic seafood in one of the many lovely restaurants and potter around shops displaying local arts and crafts. This Gaeltacht area is steeped in Irish tradition, culture and character. Further west on the Dingle Peninsula you will find Ventry and the spectacular beach of Coumeenoole. Along this route the glorious Blasket Islands – Europe’s last outlook can be viewed and visited. The villages of Dunquin and Ballyferriter are most westerly before turning north east and travelling along the beautiful Conor Pass where Mt. Brandon can be seen. Castlegregory and Tralee Bay are next on route before entering Tralee town and continuing back to Killarney. Slea Head Map
