The Burren & Dingle Town

Our drive from Galway to the Dingle Peninsula goes through the center of the ‘the Burren’ and to the Cliffs of Moher.   It’s a beautiful day and the scenery is indescribable.   We took a ferry from Kilimer to cross the Shannon River estuary – saved about 3 hours of road time!   The car in front of us on the ferry contained an English couple (Cheshire) who stayed at the same B&B as us in Spiddal.   The drive to and through Tralee was nice, then on to the ‘high road’ from Camp to Inch. Awesome.

We stopped in Anascaul for a ‘Crean’s Lager’ at the famous South Pole Inn, once owned by Tom Crean, the famous Antarctic Explorer. Our stay in Dingle Town is at O’Neal’s B&B overlooking the villages’ high street. Dingle is a fun village to walk with a beautiful ocean and high-country views.

Dinner at Doyles just down from our lodging was excellent (recommended by a couple who drive up from Dublin a few times a year to dine there).   Pubs, pubs, pubs.
