Dingle Peninsula County Kerry, Ireland Travel Guide
The weather changes quickly; the ability to add or remove layers is a major consideration. Waterproof and windproof outerwear is absolutely necessary for sudden downpours and persistent wind.
Medium-weight layers are good for Spring/Autumn; pack a warm hat and gloves. In Summer, light layers are suitable for daytime, but always carry full waterproofs. Winter requires the warmest layers, including thermal underwear.
Comfortable, Waterproof walking shoes or trainers are suitable for Dingle Town's streets and light trails.
Sturdy, Waterproof hiking boots with good ankle support are recommended for trails, coastal paths, and mountains, like Merrell Moab options.
Bring comfortable everyday shoes. Sandals or flip-flops are only suitable for very warm days or indoors; not practical for damp or hilly terrain.
Prepare both physical and digital copies.
