Hiking
The tranquil town of Anascaul is just off the Dingle Way. Here you will find a shop to stock up on provisions. You also have a small selection of accommodation. A popular hangout for locals and tourists alike is the South Pole Inn. What does the South Pole have to do with an Irish pub? The polar explorer Thomas Crean is a son of the city of Anascaul. You can learn more about the adventurer over a freshly tapped Guinness.

Cycling
This characteristic village, nestled between the green hills of the Dingle Peninsula, is inextricably linked to the legendary explorer Tom Crean. After his epic expeditions to Antarctica with Scott and Shackleton, he returned here to open the famous South Pole Inn. For the cyclist, this is the perfect place for a break in a historic setting, surrounded by the rugged foothills of the Slieve Mish mountains. A colourful stop full of character before the route winds its way back towards the spectacular Dingle coastline.
