Sightseeing
Great for hikes/walks. Beautiful scenery. If you make your way to the top lake (just keep driving up the hill until you get to the lake pictured) there are railway sleepers running around the lake that are easy to walk on but not suitable for a buggy. You can also go off road and make your way up the mountain.
30min from the house.

A great beach for walking, swimming, kayaking around the caves and along the coast. Ballybunion has a few boutiques and plenty of restaurants. For those who'd rather a picnic there's a Supervalue in the middle of the town.
During the Summer there are usually amusements in the town overlooking the sea.

This is another great hike and also challenging, but again well worth it at the top.
It can be approached from the east, Faha Grotto side, close to Cloghane or the easier medieval Pilgrams path (otherwise knows as the Saint Route) on the Dingle side. There is a small free car park at Ballybrack.
