Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Dingle

"Another one of the best things to do in Dingle (especially when the weather turns sour) is to check out the Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium. You may be surprised to learn that this is Ireland’s largest aquarium and promotes rehabilitation, research, and education above all. Hours could be easily lost in this centre with some stunning displays of sealife (as well as wildlife)."

"Dingle's aquarium is a lot of fun, and includes a walk-through tunnel and a touch pool. Psychedelic fish glide through tanks that recreate such environments as Lake Malawi, the River Congo and the piranha-filled..."

"Opened in 1837 as a hunting lodge, this magnificent estate sprawls over 17 hectares incorporating a waterfall, beach and six different gardens, ranging from palms to a primeval fern forest with dinosaurs carved from fallen trees. Ireland's longest rope bridge, the 33.5m Skywalk, sways precariously 11m above the River Delligeenagh, which swirls through the property.Walled kitchen gardens and farm animals provide ingredients for its Thai restaurant (mains €10 to €15.50). It's also possible to stay here (double/suite from €85/140)."

"The Dingle Peninsula's most important Christian site, Kilmalkedar has a beautiful setting with sweeping views over Smerwick Harbour. Built in the 12th century on the site of a 7th-century monastery founded by St Maolcethair, the roofless church is a superb example of Irish Romanesque architecture, its round-arched west door decorated with chevron patterns and a carved human head. In the graveyard you'll find an Ogham stone and a carved stone sundial. It's 7.5km northeast of Ballyferriter."

"The interior decor of Grey’s Lane Bistro makes the restaurant look and feel like a lovely home kitchen and dining room. The walls are half wooden paneling and half cream-yellow paint, with homely wooden chairs and quaint tables. The dishes, however, are diverse and well designed, including sweet potato tortilla, roasted red pepper jam, fresh basil pesto and salad, or a mouth-watering hake fillet in a chilli, ginger and garlic broth with basmati rice and salad."

"We are a small family run business in the heart of Dingle town. Our goal is to offer you the tastiest food we possibly can, along with a friendly service, in a cosy atmosphere. Whether you are looking for a light lunch, or something more substantial, then Grey’s Lane BISTRO is the place to eat."

"International bistro fare at Grey's Lane ranges from seafood chowder to Thai green curries, prawn stir-fries and Mediterranean pasta dishes."

"One of the most celebrated restaurants in Dingle and for good reason. Book a reservation no matter how quiet you think the town will be when you visit. Random serves up delicious food at reasonable prices with a quality you will find in big food cities like London and San Francisco."
