We've been exploring the West Coast of Ireland and now we’re visiting Dingle which some people would say is the finest destination in the country. Dingle is a lush green peninsula extending out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Entering the Dingle Peninsula and passing through villages of Blennerville, Camp and Annascaul.
We stop by the roadside for a lovely view looking down towards the coast and across the green fields.
Next stop, Dingle, our home base for the next couple days. The town is one of Ireland's best with excellent hotels, of course many pubs, and in recent years, Dingle has become one of the gourmet capitals of the country with many fine restaurants. We will be taking you inside a couple of them. The drive in gave us a nice overview and will be taking you on several walks through town.
Most visitors find the real attraction is the surrounding areas with the beautiful countryside and the historic sites. With a few minute’s drive, you are at the edge of town and beyond that, you're in the countryside almost immediately.
So we hop in our van and do a tour of the peninsula. It's not unusual to run into some rain when you're out here in the far tip of Europe, in the Atlantic Ocean. And we had some rain this morning, but it cleared up a little bit during the day.
Dingle is a peninsula sticking into the sea at the western edge of Europe, set amid wild green scenery surrounded by the ocean.
One of the main historic sites you'll see is Dunbeg Fort. It's quite typical of the Celtic fortresses of the Iron Age in Ireland. It's built right up against the edge of a cliff, so it's easy to defend itself with the big walls on one side and the sea cliff on the other.

I lived in Dingle as a teenager in the 1990’s and I have to say they were the best times ever.
Let me tell you how honest the country people of Ireland are. AS we drove along the Bantry and Dingle coasts for two days in a rented car we saw two things that surprised us. FIrst, as we drove we saw a wall with a womans wool scarf placed under a rock...no dwelling nearby. Someone must have found it. Then we saw a timy car park overlooking the sea there was a truck with seafood for sale AND a cash box and hoard listing prices....no one around! NO ONE! Where I live, the cash would be gone, the board, the fish, AND the truck! It warms your heart, the people, how friendly and helpful and charming they are...thr scenery is fantastic along ths coast but it is the people who shock you. We were there right after spending two weeks in Paris and wow what a shocking difference in people.
I hope you had a truly enjoyable visit! Thank you for your kind comments!
J'ai adoré. Beau souvenir. MERCI🕊️👍🍀
Irish people are the most nicest people in europe ... just fell in love with ireland .. will be coming back again 2020 for holiday🥰🥰🥰
I wish I could visit Ireland. I love Ireland🇮🇪 From 🇯🇵
Ireland is beautiful
I would go on vacation to Dingle 50 years ago, and have a wonderful memory of it. Emigrated to America in my later childhood but l have a lovely memory of Dingle. And would love to see it again.
Dingle is an absolutely perfect destination for a holiday. It is so beautiful and the people are friendly and helpful. I've been there twice and hope to go back again.
I went to Ireland for 7 weeks in 84 with my mom, spent most of my vacation in Tralee, 1 week in Dingle where my mother was born, 1 week in Carsiveen, and some other village., and 1 day in Dublin where I was born. I had the best vacation there. Went to the horse racing and greyhound racing, got to spend for the first time for the Kerry festival in Tralee.
Not even a mention of Fungie the Dolphin. He’s the main reason this town became the tourist destination it is today. Swimming in the harbour for 37 years, in the Guinness book of records for being the worlds longest living solitary dolphin and bringing joy to millions, young and old and he didn’t even deserve a mention ?
Ireland is a magical place. .it's a little bit of heaven here on erith 😀. .anyone who visits Ireland for the first time will return time and time again. ..
Born there, too wet , cold and miserable for me, even in summer! I live in the Southern Hemisphere where it is nice and warm!
I was talking about the country. .and not the weather
I went once, and was sure I'd be back. So far, I haven't been able to do it. But I hope to return in 2019. It is wonderful. We drove all over the Dingle Peninsula.
Oh no not anymore, Irelands demograph is changing rapidly.
The magic of Ireland is tarnished by 3rd world savages and DP centres sprouting like beansprouts.
@@rbeck3200tb40 Oh do shut up
Absolutely beautiful, and a wonderful brilliant way to build house,church etc
Dingle and the peninsula are absolutely stunning they are a must do on a visit to Ireland. We visited a few years back, just took my breath away. Can't wait to go back.
Was it expensive?
I love how many pubs there are lol🤨
Did you rent a car?
I stayed in a Dingle B&B and the family who ran it spoke Gaelic to each other. When I left Dingle, I drove over the Conor Pass to the north of the peninsular. Fantastic!
What a complete video, thanks for sharing this with everyone
This place looks like Cornwall crossed with the pastel colours of Burano in Venice. She's a little beauty.
Ireland is beautiful 🌹
Such a fantastic place. I just recently visited and I already want to go back.
We were in Ireland two years ago and I long to go back one of these days. The country is beautiful, the people are warm and friendly, and attitude is laid back.
I spent 27 years in Dingle and it was the longhest dream of my life.
It looks beautiful!
I spent a whole summer there 20 years ago. It was the longest weekend of my life...!
why did you leave?
😂
Spent my teenage years during summer on that peninsula...
Just love Ireland and the people
Michael West I am irish
@@tommeenehan3704 Me too
I fell in love with Dingle and its people, wonderful place.
We love our Dingle crystal. It's a family treasure from our amazing trip to Dingle. Sean Daly is an amazing craftsman and true Irish gentleman. Dob's O'Brien introduced us to this legendary Irish family and their world-famous craftsmanship.
Thank you! I'll never be able to go to Ireland, so I'll enjoy the virtual travel😍🍰
It is a lovely place with friendly people, I was there last week.
A fantastic looking town, the look, and feel are simply amazing everything seems special in this town in terms of expectations in visiting such a place.
He is a bit optimistic about the crowding of Dingle. Avoid going there in June, July and August if you possibly can when the place resembles a giant sardine can. The best times are April - May and September - October. You should allow 3 days to see the peninsula and take one of the boat trips. Don't miss Conor Pass.
That is just the town and is a gross and ugly exaggeration. There is also a lot more to Dingle than the town and abundant space
@@islanddweller3674 " gross and ugly exaggeration " ? Good grief, no it isn't ! Try walking around Dingle on a summer's day. You can't because of all the people. You can't even fit on the footpath. Dingle is a victim of its own success and best visited out of season.
we were in dingle about 4 yrs ago we love dingle and Ireland and hope to return some day our niece lives over there & we hope to see her soon
Love my little Country.. Rebel here.. 😉😉
Thank you for making a video in the rain! We are going tomorrow for a week, and rain is forecast every day, so it's nice to see you can still enjoy the scenery.
Fantastic place I hope to visit it one day. Anybody remembers the movie "Leap Year" ?
I have remember😊
I have and it was priceless!
We loved Dingle! Beautiful people, great food choices, great views!
Every inch of Ireland💚is magnificent and worth visiting!!!!!!!!👍
conchur dog The north is beautiful too, it’s the occupiers that are the problem.
Agree to visit as a country in time.
@Harold Potsdamer Northern Ireland is not metric.
Shame it was raining - you likely missed the stunning views of The Blasket Islands. Great video about a place I love and go to regularly.
LOOKS BEAUTIFUL THANKS FOR THE VIDEO 🇺🇸🐈
I have been there. Ireland is very beautiful country love it.
I'm in love with Dingle! Beautiful.
Wow this is an excellent virtual tour! Thanks so much for sharing :)
Great memories of Ireland.
Thank you! I really appreciate all the background you share as well as the gorgeous scenery. It really makes it come alive!
J'ai beaucoup aimé me promener dans cette ville de Dingle, mais aussi visiter ce beau et si accueillant pays. J'espère revenir un jour.
Always wanted to visit Ireland.....one day maybe!
Great video :) love from Belfast, Ireland ☘️
*County Kerry! Where my family hails from* ❤
I want to go home and stay for a long time, maybe indefinitely - "With my People!"
Just recently returned from a trip to Ireland. Dingle was my favorite of all the towns we visited. The accommodations at Benner’s was superb. Had a great meal at the Dingle pub and listened to authentic Irish music compliments of the Badgers. Loved it!!!
The Halfdoor is AMAZING! Great food, better service. Worth every pfennig.
Can’t wait to visit. I’d never heard of it but thanks to this video my dream is to visit Dingle! My last name is Sheehy - I notice lots of sheehy’s there eg the fish truck lol
@@Michael-bf1dt Hello :) it is lovely, i must watch again! Where are you based? Hope you are safe too. Ok here in Australia.
Certainly an Irish name, many left for Britain, the US, and Canada during the famine. You would be welcomed home as a long lost cousin.
@@johnoconnell2446 Yay ❤️ I’d like to hike the peninsula. One day when the world reopens!
This brings back great memories lovely place mighty craic
Ireland is lovely💕
Was there in the start of this year with the family had a great time there. Loved the place
I Ireland is in my heart
My favourite place to visit when I go home
Hi Dily how are you. Greetings from Ireland. Hope you’re safe from Covid. It’s a lovely video. I like your videos too - some of my favourites are there. Have a good day and stay safe 😀😘 Michael
What a delightful place! Thanks for sharing! 🍀

Another Great invigorating video Dennis,looks like a Fascinating town to explore.
Back in the heyday of Irish emigration to America at the turn of the century, a lot of people from Dingle settled in western Massachusetts, particularly Springfield and Holyoke. Some call the area "Little Dingle"
I grew up in Springfield, MA, the grandson of two emigrants from Dingle, one a Murphy, the other a Griffin. My father grew up on "Hungry Hill" the Irish Ghetto in Springfield, and I worked for a time at Moore Drop Forge, a factory in the south end, before deciding that factory work was not for me and escaping into the Irish heaven of education. Didn't visit Ireland till recently (I am now in my late 60's) because my family had nothing good to say about the place, nothing at all. Man, was that a mistake! Visited for a couple weeks last year and felt more at home than here in the US. Plan to go back as soon as I can and stay for while....
@@dr.michaelj.murphypresents2641 Best wishes to you. My 3rd Great grandfather left Cork in the 1830s for Boston where he later met my 3rd great grandmother, who left Armagh with her parents just four years before the famine. After living in New York for some time they headed west to Wisconsin in the 1850s, settling near Horicon. He died in the Civil War, and about 50 years later his son (my 2nd great grandfather) moved with his wife, children and all his siblings further west to New Richmond, where we've lived ever since.
Very nice place. I wish I could be there someday thanks for this wonderful video amazing. Watching from Philippines

Everyone is welcome to Ireland, many lovely people from the Philippines live here. Maybe some day.

I live in Ireland rn, boring as hell in the country side not much here to do other than drink... Much rather live in another country
PoPo Depends on where you live, or your interests I guess.
Awesome! It looks so cool there.
I'm from Ireland and I holiday in Eire.a magical nation.
Beautiful Ireland
Great video to watch before your visit. My wife and I just returned from our first trip to Ireland. Dingle is worth the drive to visit. It was our favorite city in all of Ireland! We will be back someday!
I did not know Dingle is known as a city. But they do have a great beach nearby also.,depends what time of year you go. The ring of Kerry is most beautiful place on earth.. Very friendly people who make all so very welcome. I will go back again soon.
Yes Dingle is a wonderful colourful little town. I spent some time there a couple of
years ago. I remember Murphy's Bar alright and meeting friendly people in there..
I also remember the Conner Pass, great views from up there. I hope to go back
there someday once this terrible Covid virus is eventually over. Good Video, Thanks.
U gota lov de Irish ☘️

@@Michael-bf1dt , hello!I am fine! I am working from home because of the Covid! How are you doing? Oh, yes ... I hope to visit this beautiful place one day ... Thanks for the greetings! Take care! Greetings from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro! 😊😘🙋
@@lyne8610 hello Lyne thanks for your lovely message. Glad you are safe and well. I am too - just taking precautions. Are the Covid numbers high where you are? I would love to visit Brazil 🇧🇷 some day - Rio especially. Hope your dream of visiting Ireland 🇮🇪 comes through too. Is it easy to work from home. Lots of people are work from home in Ireland. I hope your day goes well. Love to hear from you again. God bless you honey and take care 😘😍. Your friend in Ireland, Michael
@@Michael-bf1dt , hello! How are you doing? I am fine! I am working hard from home, but within 1 week I am going on vacation! Here Covid's numbers are decreasing little by little ...

Just love Ireland!!! My husband is Irish and we have beautiful parish daughter !!🙂
Congrats on your family.
Ok
Incredible!
Excellent video. Good photography, information and narration. Thank you.
Ireland 🇮🇪 is a beautiful country so proud
Sylvia Conlon , gods country 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪
wow i love it!!
It's amazing how many rock structures, similar to these, have also been found in New England. One can only wonder.
Basci building blocks, only so much you can do with them, like make a wall.
@@denniscallan The problem: The Native Americans, at least in New England and further south, were not known to have built permanent dwellings with stone. And these stone structures resemble almost exactly the structures I saw on the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland....even to the detail of using a large flat slab of stone to serve as the lintel over doors. One can only wonder if the stories of the group of Irish Monks, lead by St. Brendan, sailing to North America..even before the Vikings, may have some validity to them
Love it!
Two of my friends from school are in this..... Louise Brosnan and Cailin Benison working in Global Village. 😊
Stephanie O'Neill one of my best friends is cailins daughter
The most important attractions was left out- the trad music! One must go to the many pubs and listen to the expert and accomplished trad musicians.
Hi horvath
Very informative about the area and history.
🍀🍀🌹T. Y. LOVE FROM IRELAND. 👍🍀🍀🍻🍀
I'm no expert on Ireland...but I did have a job assignment, there, for a short time. That South-East coast is the only place I had a chance to visit...and.... it "blew me away". There is NOTHING so dramatic as those coastal views... in the USA. I'm sorry I didn't have time to visit other parts of Ireland..but I would guess and I would recommend that South-East coast.... as a "MUST SEE".
Very good video and true to form. Just got back last week.
Wonderful video. The beehive huts are similar to structures here in the Philippines built to resist typhoons. I bet the seafood is great and those PUBS. I can almost taste real DUBLIN BREWED Guiness
I would love to go some day.
Very beautiful city ♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful! I need to visit it one day
thanks for sharing
Love Dingle
Good show from the north of ireland
Happy St.Patrick's day🍀🇮🇪
Thank you for yuca video!!! The ferry information saved is a lot of time on our trip from the muckross to the Dingle peninsula to the county Clare where we were staying! What a great piece of information added to all the gems about the west coast of Ireland, which we are absolutely loving!!!!!
What a great place too kick back and forget about the rest of the world for a while.If i ever found myself there i might not leave.Erin-go-bragh.
Beautiful video !
Epic we place
Beautiful well done
Awesome city..! Love it..! Thx
Im from around dingle . About 1 minute from beehive huts
Dingle, precioso pueblo pesquero, donde deberían aprender que el marisquito TAMBIEN está buenísimo a la plancha
