Dingle
Let’s start with the darling of the county, Dingle. A spot beloved of almost all of Ireland, this little town is so crammed with quirky character it’s astounding, its beauty found in rugged, leftfield corners. Based around a bay and overlooked by a staunch, soggy hillside, Dingle is famous for the dolphin that occupies its bay, the old-world pubs where selling hardware alongside a pint is completely normal, and it’s loveable boutique shopping. The best time to visit is the first weekend of December, where music festival Other Voices drops in alongside the Christmas parade, and (for one week only) Dingle is the best place to party in the country.
