Ballyferriter (Baile an Fheirtéaraigh)

Ballyferriter sits at the western edge of the Dingle Peninsula, one of Ireland's most westerly villages in this Gaeltacht community. Take the N86 from Tralee through Dingle, then the R559 west along the coast, about two hours from Cork or four from Dublin via the M7 and M20. The village makes a grand base for exploring the peninsula's archaeological sites and beaches, with the Músaem Chorca Dhuibhne in the old schoolhouse showcasing 6,000 years of local heritage. Day trips from Killarney take 90 minutes, while Dingle town is just 20 minutes away.
