At the beginning of the tour we will explain the history of Dingle town taking in views of Eask tower and Hussey’s Folly, two stone towers constructed on Dingle harbour. We head west along the road to Burnham, the home of the Rice family, Lord Ventry and now an all Irish speaking girls boarding school, we will visit the Ogham stones which were relocated here by Lord Ventry. Leaving Burnham we head west to Ventry’s golden strand, Ventry translated into Irish is Ceann Trá. We continue on to Dunbeg Fort and the famine cottage on the coast above Dingle Bay, here you will see, where the early settlers on the Dingle Peninsula lived and the houses of famine times. You also get a chance to hold and feed a pet lamb. Then onto Slea head the most westerly point of Europe, where you have great views of the Blasket Islands and Coumeenole Beach, where Ryan’s daughter was filmed.
