Pure Ireland: Flickr photo of the day

Michael Clemmer

Should you want to be hearin’ real Irish Gaelic spoken, or to bicycle around the westernmost part of Europe this summer, then the Dingle Peninsula is calling. Designated by the Irish government as a Gaeltacht (a park for traditional culture and language), Dingle has a population of only 10,000. About 1,500 of those blessed souls live in Dingle Town itself.

The peninsula, a mere 10 miles wide and 40 miles long, is perfect for biking. It’s pure, rural Ireland. As you pedal along the highway that outlines the peninsula, you can pretend you’re the title character from “Ryan’s Daughter” or Tom Cruise in “Far and Away,” both filmed nearby. People have lived on the Dingle Peninsula for thousands of years. Go for a week and find out why.
