I liked the part around Dingle the best. Be sure to see the house made completely of stone. There are famine houses here also. More

I was trying to review the Beehive Huts we saw during our March 2011 trip to Ireland but didn't see them listed as a separate attraction so I'll include them under the Slea Head Drive heading.

We were in Dingle two days and did the Slea Head drive on the second day. Absolutely amazing is really all I can say. The weather was intermittent between sun and rain, but it never put a damper on the drive and just made it even better. We've done the Ring of Kerry, and while that was really nice, it... More

The hotel had told us to "drive beyond Dingle to Slea Head". Fantastic advice as the scenery and beach (you can drive down if you don't fancy the 10 minute steep walk) were just beautiful. More
