Blennerville Windmill

Highlight • Monument

The Blennerville Windmill, built in 1800, is the largest working corn mill in Ireland and Great Britain. Located on the edge of Tralee Bay, this white smock mill marks the starting point of the Dingle Peninsula for cyclists departing from Tralee (N86).

The Tralee & Dingle Steam Railway

Highlight • Monument

From 1891 to 1953 the steam train ran on these tracks between Tralee and Dingle. The Tralee and Blennerville Steam Railway Group operated the railway for tourist purposes until 2006. Now the only locomotive is standing still because a new boiler is needed. The local railroad enthusiasts, however, want the locomotive to steam back between the two locations as quickly as possible.

The Dingle Way

Highlight • Trail

This route around the westernmost peninsula of Europe combines challenging climbs with fast coastal sections. The route is largely asphalted and passes important historical sites such as Gallarus Oratory and the beehive huts. Be aware of changing weather conditions and strong Atlantic winds, which are a significant factor, especially on the open sections near Slea Head and the Maharees. There are sufficient supply points and cycle-friendly stops in the villages of Annascaul, Dingle and Castlegregory.
