Slea Head Loop

Level: Moderate

Distance: 43km (height gain: 580m)

This circuit of Slea Head at the tip of the Dingle Peninsula is one of the most spectacular cycles in the country. It follows the coast west from Dingle town around the spectacular Slea Head before returning via quiet backroads. It’s a gentle route, well suited to cycling, as there are so many places where you will want to stop and take in the view. Cycle it in a clockwise direction, so that you are moving towards the best scenery and are on the sea side of the road. Take care in traffic.

Pit-stop: There are lots of places to eat and drink in Dingle and also plenty of options along the route in Ventry, Dunquin and Ballyferriter (dingle-peninsula.ie).
