DINGLE & SURROUNDING AREA
The Dingle Peninsula is one of the Gaeltacht areas of Ireland, where the Irish language is spoken every day in various pockets of the area and where traditional culture is best preserved.
It offers miles of sandy beaches, soaring mountains, narrow country roads lined with golden gorse and flowering red fuchsia: Nature and Beauty in abundance. Our traditional, purpose-built stables are located on the mountainside overlooking Dingle Harbour and close to the town of Dingle.
The scenery in this area is dramatic and beautiful, and our rides include miles of the finest beaches and mountain trails with unsurpassed views of the north Atlantic and rugged off-shore islands.
We recommend viewing David Lean's film, "Ryan's Daughter", which will give you a full appreciation of our wonderful scenery, as we can ride through many of the places seen in this film.
We have taken the time to put together a list of things to do and see while you are in Dingle. If you should have any questions about any of these things, or about the Dingle and the surrounding area, please email them to us and we will do our best to answer all of them.
For such a cozy town there is an astonishing choice of restaurants, cafés and eateries in Dingle. Click the "Dining Out" link to view some of the restaurants that we reccommend.
The Great Blasket Island is the most westerly point in Europe. It is the largest of a group of islands located off the Dingle Peninsula and was home to a small community until its evacuation in 1953. The island has considerable literary acclaim because of the unique writings by a number of islanders.
This contemporary art gallery shows an excellent selection of Irish paintings and sculpture. There are new exhibitions throughout the year showcasing artwork inspired by the surrounding area.

Irish shore angling is among the best in Europe. Almost every type of shore fishing may be done, for a very wide range of species, throughout the year. Deep see angling off the coast of the Dingle Peninsula is also very popular and is some of the best in Ireland.
