Why Slea Head Drive matters

Slea Head Drive circles the western end of the Dingle Peninsula and is the best coastal drive in Ireland for many travellers. Narrow roads hug the cliff edge, with views to the Blasket Islands. Along the way are ancient stone huts and early Christian sites. Drive slowly and use the lay-bys.

Talking points

  • The Blasket Islands lie offshore.
  • The road is narrow and winding.
  • Ancient beehive huts line the route.
