Short drive (maybe 12 minutes) from downtown Dingle. It's a pretty easy walk up a steep hill. Probably 90 minutes round trip. The views from the top are amazing, all the way across the water to Skellig Michael Island plus 360 degrees. Leave a few bucks in the box at the base for the landlord who lives across the street. I heard he has to buy insurance for the property. The hike is well worth whatever you want to contribute.

This was one of our favorites. The views are incredible! The walk up to the tower looked hard, and I almost changed my mind, but the lady taking the money (I think the owner) jokingly encouraged me. SO glad we did it! Lots and lots and lots of sheep poop. I thought I avoided it, but had it all over the bottoms of my shoes by the time we got back down. The woman had a hose and brush to clean our shoes. She even filled our water bottles for us.

Always outstanding at Eask Tower - and on return journey after long ( essential) work days to hang out beside roaring fire in evening with the knowledge that I wake up to a stunning view and terrific brekkie by Anne. Next time I come will hopefully be for fun only. Hats off every time for terrific service and hospitality by Anne, Michael, Tom and Colm. 100% recommend.

We had a lovely chat with the lady who collects a small sum for access to this walk. The first part is full of sheep poo but shoes can be cleaned at the farm afterwards - all good organic stuff as was pointed out to us! The view from the tower was amazing and the foxgloves and other wild flowers were beautiful. We sat and read our books at the top as it was a lovely day.

A lovely 25 minute walk up the hill to the tower. Great views over the harbour to Dingle and out across the bay all the way to the Skellig islands. The land owner charges €2. He provides parking and a WC.

It is extremely difficult to find Eask Tower, there are no signs for it anywhere, it has no address, and cannot be found on a GPS. The best way to find it is to follow the signs for Slea Head Drive out of Dingle. You will come to a straightaway with woods on the left and homes on the right at the end there are a number of signs, including a sign for Holden Leather. Follow the signs for Holden Leather until you get to one that says "the final stretch" and goes off to the left. Keep going round to the right and the entrance to the tower will be on the right. There is just a small building with a hand written sign on the front of it. It took us about an hour to find the place and the rest of my family didn't want to hike the quarter of a mile or so to the top of the hill in the rain, so I can't say anything about the tower itself. I just wanted to give others a better chance of finding the place.

Unsure what to do one day - the choice is huge - we were advised to go and climb 'that hill over there'. I had looked at that dalek every time we visited on holiday and wondered what it was for. Having read a bit of the history, that it was built during the time of the famine to give the residents some employment as well as to point the way to the harbour entrance, we set off.
We parked at the bottom of the 'hill', paid our euro and started the (thankfully) zig-zag climb. Amazingly, there were times that we couldn't see the tower - a lot of sheep though. When we reached the top - what a view! Absolutely stunning, breathtaking - all the cliches don't even come close. Take time out to visit - it's well worth the climb!

Eask Tower was easily atop our best memories while touring the Wild Atlantic Way. It was an off day with a bit of rain but we decided to follow the locals recommendations (always a good idea IMO). We arrived to find a small shed and parking area at the base of a fairly steep sheep pasture. There was nobody there, but we entered and saw the small collection box for visitors to pay a measly 2 euro for the privilege to make the trek to the top.
We made the hike without much trouble, opening and closing gates along the way and following the well packed path.
The views were breathtaking, overlooking Dingle Bay to one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other.
Do it and bring a bottle of wine ;)

Getting tapped up by the old dear with the dog for 2euro per person and not a receipt in sight was typical Irish rip off

Gem of a hike! Our kayak guide, David from Irish Adventures told us about it! From the hike through the sheep farm to the switchbacks on the hill, this was a great, short hike. Loved to view and history of the place! Wonderful way to burn off some of the previous night’s pub visit!
