| |  Castlewood House is located just eight minutes walk from Dingle town centre. We are tucked away in the cosiest corner of Ireland on one of the most spectacular coastlines in Europe. It is the chief town of the peninsula and an excellent touring centre. Spectacular mountains, long sandy beaches and the staggering splinter-slatted mass of rocks that defines the extraordinary coast at Slea Head all conspire to ensure that, remote though it is, the Dingle Peninsula is firmly on the tourist trail. |

Airport: Kerry Airport is the nearest (about 70km), while Airports Shannon and Cork are about 170 km. If you land in Kerry we suggest you to take a taxi otherwise you can rent a car.
Coming by car from Shannon Airport:
Take the Dual Carriageway towards Limerick City (N19) and follow signpost to Tralee/Cork. Drive straight for few kilometers until you reach a V junction (on the left you go to Cork on the N20). Keep the right driving on the Primary Route N21 towards Tralee. After about 85 km you will arrive in Tralee. Follow signs to Dingle and keep driving on the National Secondary Road N86.
The road goes straight to Dingle. Once arrived in Dingle ("An Daingean") turn left at the 1st roundabout and take the coast road signposted for Slea Head drive. Pass Dingle Marina on left and continue past Aquarium. Castlewood is on your right hand side and it is the last house before the Milltown roundabout.
Coming from Cork and Kerry Airports:
Follow signs to Tralee and drive on the Primary Route N22, which will join the N21 towards Tralee. Then follow above indications once in Tralee.
Important notice for visitors:
Placenames can be confusing. In almost all cases the original name is in Irish and has a relatively clear meaning which often conveys something of the history of the place. Dingle's proper name is Daingean Uí Chúis which, to fit on signposts, is generally abbreviated to "An Daingean". |
