Dingle is delightful!  This little town of less than 1,700 people is so colorful and charming; it brought a smile to my face the moment we arrived.  Located in southwest Ireland, Dingle is on the coast of County Kerry and the only town on the Dingle Peninsula.  A popular tourist destination, Dingle’s other main industries are fishing and agriculture. 

As soon as we stepped into the lobby of the Dingle Benners Hotel, it was like stepping back in time.  Dating back to the early 1800’s, the boutique hotel was filled with antiques, old photographs, and a beautiful bar.

Although we went on an orientation walk with our tour leader, it’s impossible to get lost in this little town that lines the harbor.  It was such a beautiful day (although, as you will see in my photos, the sky looked quite threatening off in the distance), we continued exploring on our own.  I couldn’t stop taking photos, and it was a tough edit for this post!  So, happy scrolling!
