The Dingle Peninsula is in south west Ireland and includes Ireland's most westerly point and its highest road pass, Connor Pass. While I have been here it has been warm and sunny. I went to the beach on two afternoons. The water is not super warm but it was no worse than Auckland at the equivalent time of year. Since the weather was nice I walked up Mt Brandon, a little shorter than Carrantuohil but in the fine weather the views were much much better-
I drove around the western end of Dingle Peninsula, dodging convoys of large tourist buses on single lane roads. The most interesting sight on the drive is Gallarus Oratory, a 1000 year old religious building built completely from stone. I also stopped to look at beehive huts (stone buildings which, as the name suggests, look like beehives) and Dunbeg Fort. I stayed in Dingle, a vibrant little town packed with tourists.
