Dunbeg Fort

Our first stop on the West End Peninsula Drive (aka Slea Head Drive) — or, as we christened it, the Ring of Dingle, did not turn out quite as expected.

I’d read that Dunbeg Fort — which is an example of a promontory fort — sits at a spot with dramatic scenery. That part was true. And the video documenting the history of the City of Fahan where the first settlers were nomadic hunters and gatherers was interesting. As was the information about the building of the fort that dates back to 8th-9th century.

What was disappointing was that the ruins were behind a fence and visitors cannot explore them ... nor easily see the dramatic scenery.

This one falls into the “you win some, you lose some” category.もっと詳しく
