The way talks you around the slopes of Mt Eagle with some magnificent archlogical sites on route including Dunbeg fort, Beehive huts and with views over the Atlantic gradually starts to include the Blasket Islands as the trail rounds Slea Head.

Distance: 22km | Ascent: 100m | Time: 7hrs
Heading due north the Dingle Way soon turns into a gravel path and then rounds the shoulder of An Ghráig at 120m above sea-level. After heading across grasslands and passing the small picturesque Clogher Beach, the Dingle Way skirts some cliffs where the full force of the Atlantic can be felt as waves come crashing in below.Crossing the face of Smerwick Harbour, the Dingle Way treads nearly six kilometers of beach before finally reaching Murreagh. The Dingle Way takes in a larger section of cliff-walk once it passes Ballydavid.
Day 3
Feohanagh to Cloghane
Distance: 21km | Ascent: 650m | Time: 7hrs
To the west of the trail on the way up Brandon, there is a 450-metre drop into the sea!
Leaving Feohanagh the Dingle Way soon comes off surfaced road and takes to an old green road that leads the trail in a north-easterly direction aiming for Cnoc na mBristi. The long stiff climb to the shoulder of Brandon Mountain sees the trail round the saddle between Masatiompan and Piaras Mór. The ancient marker ogham stone with an inscribed cross can be found here.
This trail continues downward on a more gradual gradient as it weaves its way down into the valley to the village of Cloghane With two beautifully sited pubs overlooking Brandon Bay.

Day 4
Cloghane to Camp
Distance: 24km | Ascent: 50m | Time: 7hrs
The Dingle Way leaves Cloghane via a quiet undulating road that briefly makes its way inland and skirts Drom hill to the north, In total contrast to the previous mountainous section, the terrain succumbs to sandy beach for a large part of what lies between Fermoyle and Castlegregory. Taking in the loop of low-lying land stretching out towards the Magharee Islands to the north, the Dingle Way spans the length of Ireland's longest beach, measuring 11km in length.
Day 5
Camp to Tralee
Distance: 19km | Ascent: 300m | Time: 7hrs
The final section of the Dingle Way sees a long stretch back to Tralee. With Camp behind, the Dingle Way comes off the strand and traverses the Tralee-Dingle Road and heads up to the lower slopes of the Slieve Mish Mountain range. This section was walked at the outset of the journey, only this time things are going in the opposite direction. Nine kilometers of open mountainous terrain sees the view of Blennerville and its distinctive windmill landmark gradually get closer and closer. The last part of the Dingle Way follows the canal path back into the centre of Tralee.
