About The Village
Situated as it is on the southwest tip of Ireland, the Gulf Stream plays a more warming part than it does for the rest of the country. For the holiday maker, this gives a longer season of enjoyment. The first flowers of Spring appear shortly after Christmas and the gorse is still in bloom at the end of October.
Annascaul is the birthplace of famous Antarctic explorer Tom Crean.
Internationally renowned sculptor Jerome Connor was also born in Annascaul. One of his most impressive pieces is the Lusitania monument in Cobh, Co. Cork.
Things To Do
Walking
Annascaul and Inch lie in the southern foothills of the Slieve Mish mountains. This range forms the backbone of the Dingle Peninsula and rises to peaks of over 2,000 feet. Mountains and beaches are an exciting combination offering amazing views and many possibilities for recreation. Walking in the area ranges from sea level to the mountains around Annascaul's lake and river. The "Dingle Way" passes through Inch and Annascaul. We also have our own way-marked walks. Wherever you walk, the views are breathtaking, the countryside unspoilt, and the routes unfrequented. The Annascaul Walking Festival is held over the October bank holiday weekend. It is a three-day guided walking festival.
Fishing
Annascaul's lake and rivers provide excellent freshwater fishing. Inch Strand is an acknowledged international shore angling venue.
Surfing and Swiming
Professional Surfing schools operate on the three miles of golden sand that is the reknowned INCH strand. All gear and boards are provided for the eager novice or the accomplished surfer.
The Peninsula is surrounded by the Atlantic and washed by the Gulf Stream, giving pure ocean water, a mild climate and a clean environment for bathing, surfing, sailing and wind surfing.
Legends
Stories abound of giants such as Cu Chulainn who is said to have inhabited this area. The supposed ruins of his house and castle are in the mountains above Annascaul Lake.
Archaeological Sites
The area boasts the highest density of archaeological sites and antiquities in the land. We have evidence of several periods of early development abounding in the area. The Neolithic Stone Age has left several cultivated sites. The Bronze Age has left us with megalithic wedge graves, Ogham stones, standing stones, and cup and circle stones. The Iron Age coincided with the arrival of the Celts and has left evidence in the shape of the hill, ring and promontory forts. The Christian period has left monastic sites, beehive huts and small beautiful churches.
