En Route to Ballyferriter

As we travel towards Ballyferriter, enjoy stunning views of Clogher Strand and Sybil Head, which appeared in Star Wars. 

Return to Dingle

We finish the tour as we pass Bric’s Pub, Leath Thaoibh, the breathtaking Three Sisters, with Mount Brandon towering in the distance, setting the scene as Gallarus Castle emerges into view — possibly even Gallarus Oratory.

And just as you think it can’t get any better, an incredible panoramic vista of Dingle Bay unfolds as you approach Bóthar Fada.
