A spectacular landmass jutting out into the sea in the Kingdom of Kerry, the Dingle Peninsula is renowned for its rugged beauty. It is a treasure house of Pre-Christian and Early Christian sites and monuments. Features include the mountain top fortress of Chaerconree, the fort at Dunbeg, the excavated monastery at Riask and the beehive dwellings at Fahan.
Dunbeg is an Iron Age headland fort and is one of the most sophisticated monuments of its class, and is remarkable for the ingenious nature of its defences. It stands on a V-shaped headland in the southwest of the Dingle peninsula. The position of Dunbeg is very exposed and parts of the cliff have been severely eroded, carrying sections of the masonry into the sea.
Inch Beach is one of the most beautiful and romantic beaches in Kerry. It was used as a location for the filming of The Playboy of the Western World and Ryan┬┤s Daughter. This is also a great area for bass fishing, windsurfing and canoeing and is one of Kerry┬┤s most popular beaches for locals and visitors.
