Tucked in at the foot of Mount Brandon on the northern coast of the Dingle Peninsula is The Cloghane / Brandon area, also known as an Leith Triúigh. A stunning coastal road joins the two small villages of Cloghane, An Clochán (meaning stone hut), a picturesque small village of stone houses overlooking the Owenmore estuary; and Brandon, a small fishing village, overlooking Brandon Bay, with a quay still used by local fishermen before bringing you onto Brandon Point WAW discovery point with extraordinary views along Brandon Bay, The Maharees, Slieve Mish mountains and across Tralee Bay to North Kerry.
The Cloghane / Brandon area is one of great natural beauty, set between the mountains and the Atlantic with an abundance of sandy beaches, washed clean by the surf of Brandon Bay and spectacular walking trails through uninhabited valleys and unique wilderness. A great place to stay if climbing Mount Brandon, the area lies at the foot of the Conor Pass within the Gaeltacht of Corca Dhuibhne and has a rich heritage of music, language, and dance. Everywhere there are traces of a way of life almost forgotten elsewhere.
