For anyone wishing to extend their walking holiday on the Dingle Way, we recommend the Dingle Peninsula guide by Adrian Hendroff. This 112 page book has off-trail descriptions of 24 walks of a variety of distances and difficulty grades.
In addition to full-colour photos, a basic map gives an overview for each of the routes but the correct OSI Discovery Series Map is needed when out on the walk itself. All of the walks can be walked with Discovery Map 70 and Discovery Map 71.
As many of these routes are in remote and rarely visited parts of Kerry, it is essential to have the required map-reading and navigational skills. The routes described do not follow signposted trails.
