Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Gallarus Oratory, 8 km northeast of Ballyferriter on R559 GPS coordinates 52.172750, -10.349408, Dingle Ireland
The iconic Gallarus Oratory is located in the heart of the Kerry Gaeltacht, on the very western tip of the Dingle peninsula. The Oratory is completely built from locally sourced stone and its shape resembles an upturned boat. Some believe it may be 1300 years old. A local tradation states that anyone who climbs through the tiny window is guaranteed access to Heaven.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Dún Beag Fort Visitor Centre, Fahan, Dingle, Co. Kerry, Ireland
The 500BC Dún Beag Fort is an impressive and elaborate example of a promontory fort. Its location makes it one of the most dramatic archaeological sites on the Dingle Peninsula. This area also offers panoramic sea views.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Kilmalkedar Church, Kilmalkedar, Dingle, Co. Kerry, Ireland
The ruined Romanesque church visible today dates to the first half of the 12th century, and certain features are similar to those found in Cormac's Chapel on The Rock of Cashel in Co. Tipperary. Also, visible on the site are a sun dial, large stone cross and alphabet stone (inside the church near the chancel arch). Some fine stone carvings can also be found inside the church.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Conor Pass, Ireland
The Conor Pass is one of the highest mountain passes served by road. It is 456 metres (1496 ft) high. The views from the road are breath taking, as the glaciated landscape of mountaind and corrie lakes come into view. From the scenic car park at the summit there are views as far as the Aran Islands in Co Galway.
