WALKING, CLIMBING, CYCLING The Dingle Way walking route (Slí Chorca Dhuibhne) stretches 50 km between Tralee and Dingle, following the old Dingle Road. The walk is divided naturally by the villages of Annascaul and Camp into three sections, each comfortably traversed in a day. Ascending the clearly-marked trail to the summit of Caherconree, the climber can survey the whole of Munster, the Blasket Islands basking in Dingle Bay, and Loop Head jutting out into the vast Atlantic Ocean. There are wonderful scenic forest walks to be enjoyed through Glannteenassig, a 20-acre forestry development 4 miles west of Camp. Miles of sandy beaches provide less demanding exercise. Guided local history walks are available. Telephone 066-7130185 for details. Cyclists will revel in the miles of quiet by-roads which can be explored.
