What is Dingle known for?
Dingle, a town located in the heart of County Kerry, is often referred to as the ‘Bohemian’ or ‘Artistic Capital’ of Ireland. Its narrow cobblestone streets are lined with charming cafes and colourful shops; it’s easy to see why visitors fall in love with this place.
The main draw for tourists visiting Dingle is its unique collection of pubs, also known as ‘hardware’ pubs. These pubs specialize in selling both pints of beer and wellington boots (rubber boots). This unusual combination has made these establishments beloved by locals and tourists alike.
