Dingle Crystal work shop is a little family place run by Master Sean with his sons. We can see there how masterpieces are appearing in an Artists hands. We can admire many of those items in the workshop and even order some of them for the collection.
The place which witnessed developing first civilisation at Dingle Peninsula. Huts looking like large beehives , built with rocks with no mortar.
Cross at Slea Head. The most western tip of Dingle Peninsula. Stunning view at the Atlantic Ocean and Blasket Islands. That is the point where we may have a chance to see dolphins or even whales.
The Blasket Centre
Great audio visual presentation focused at local places. Blasket Islands, Skellig Islands and local history. Cafe shop, restaurant and toilet facility.
Galarus Oratory is a beehive hut from 6th century. Is actually first Christian Church, Monastic side in Ireland. Galarus is an amazing example of high level of engineering from ancient times. Building like chapel is built with perfectly matching rocks without mortar. All rocks are at certain angle not allowing any water to run through. Inside is always dry even during heavy rains. This is history of keltic engineers not to be seen anywhere else.
Kilmalkedar is associated with Saint Brendan the Navigator. second Bishop of Ireland after Saint Patrick. Also with localy known Saint Maolcethair (Malkedar) who died in 636. Building which still stands there till now dates from 12th century. For 900 years old is in perfect state. Graveyard around is also ancient with real keltic stone sundial (still ticking)
