  • Day 1 Arrival in Annascaul

    From your point of arrival, use the public transport information we provide to make the journey to Annascaul.

  • Day 2 Annascaul - Dingle Town

    13-13.5 Miles / 20.5-22 Km 6-8 Hrs 410 Metres

    Quiet roads and farmland tracks guide you first back to the sea and past the ruins of the 16th century Minard Castle. You then pass the village of Lispole with the remains of the Lispole Railway Viaduct. From there, lower mountain slopes lead you to the popular Gaeltacht town of Dingle – renowned for its music, its culture and Fungi – a bottle-nosed dolphin that had been greeting visitors in Dingle Harbour from 1984 to 2020.

  • Day 3 Dingle Town - Dunquin

    13.5 Miles / 22 Km 5-7 Hrs 520 Metres

    Today’s hike is one of the highlights of the Dingle Way – an unforgettable trek that will transport you from modern Ireland to the ‘old country’. It offers a beautiful beach walk, coastal views, early Christian ‘Beehive Huts’, an Iron Age cliff fort, the much-photographed pier at Dunquin and stunning cliff-top vistas over the mystical Blasket Islands.

  • Day 4 Dunquin - Cuas

    17 Miles / 27 Km 6-8 Hrs 290 Metres

    Delving ever deeper into the Gaeltacht, you continue along the Atlantic coastline and some of Ireland’s more picturesque and secluded beaches. At Smerwick Harbour you can take an optional detour to see the famous Gallarus Oratory, Ireland’s most iconic early Christian church, and then follow one of the finest cliff-top walks in the country. Stop for refreshments in the local pub on the coast, before the route guides you to the tiny townland of Cuas, with the imposing peak of Mount Brandon watching over your every step.

  • Day 5 Departure from Cuas
