One of my favortie hikes in the area! For a tiny fee you can climb up and get a magical view of the area of the bay and the ocean. Careful in the rainy season it can be quite slipery so wear hiking boots or shoes with cleats.

Ce visite vaut bien le petit effort qu'il faut depenser! A quick hike up a small hill and you have the view out to the sea all to yourself. enjoy!

My husband and I found this in the Rick Steve's book and decided to give it a try. Basically, you drive about 3-4 kilometers down a windy road to the base of the Eask Tower climb. Once there, there's a little guard-like house that is unmanned, and you just drop your coins in before the hike. I guess it's an... More

The view from the top is spectacular, but the path up is very muddy--wear waterproof shoes or boots.

This hike does have a nominal fee, but it is absolutely worth it! Dodge the sheep manure as you head up the hill and then be dazzled by breathtaking views once you reach the other side. My husband and I sat up there for a bit to enjoy a light snack while enjoying the unbeatable views. The landowner met us... More

When we embarked on the hike the weather was sunny. Half way through it turned nasty. You will be dodging sheep crap so wear good hiking shoes and gear but once you achieve your destination at Eask Tower the views are stunning. Bring two cans of Guinness along to reward yourself for the hike!

Rick Steves recommended this "bike hike" trip ... we walked from about a mile outside of downtown Dingle. Nice walk but watch out for the traffic on the main road. Once you leave the main road, the walking is wonderful...the hike up to the top consists of a sheep road, over gates, and around sheep. the view at the top... More

Eaten a little too much at lunchtime in Dingle town? Then work some of it off with a stroll up Carhoo Hill to Eask Tower. The route itself is across farmland so one is able to experience the menacing / bemused / nonplussed expressions of the various sheep! There is also an honesty box at the bottom of the hill... More

Brilliant views from the top, overlooking Dingle harbour and Bay. On a really clear day you can see the Ring of Kerry and the Skelligs. The route is well marked and the farmer is really friendly. The sheep are very fun to watch too. If you get the chance to walk this, please do...I promise it is well worth it!
