As you embark on the iconic Slea Head Drive, prepare to be captivated by the rugged beauty of Ireland's west coast. The winding coastal road offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, with the dramatic Blasket Islands creating a stunning backdrop.
You will find yourselves traversing a tapestry of landscapes, from golden beaches to lush green fields, and quaint villages nestled against the hills. Discover ancient archaeological sites, where the whispers of history echo through ancient stone forts like the Gallarus Oratory and venture into Dingle town to encounter the charm of a traditional Irish fishing village.

We then journey along Slea Head Drive (or Slí Cheann Sléibhe if you want to practice the local tongue), one of Ireland’s most scenic routes. Make sure you’re not napping as we coast along this circular route. Trust us, you’ll kick yourself later if you miss these views. There’s so much to love along the way, and we’ll keep our options open as we drive. Perhaps you’ll stop in at Tóchar Maothaithe – Ireland's famous beehive huts. Or maybe the Famine Cottages, bleak histories with an incredible view.
