O'Connors Campsite

If you’re planning on attending the Féile Lughnasa festival (the last full weekend of July), book your stopover at O’Connors Campsite Cloghane well in advance to enjoy several days and nights of music and singing, sand-sculpture competitions, pet shows, a vintage-car exhibition and a pilgrimage up Mount Brandon (about an hour’s walk). There are many walks in the locality, ranging from short strolls around Brandon Bay to harder slogs up to Arraglen Ogham Stone (two and a half hours), where there’s also a memorial to a crashed military plane as well as far-reaching views over moorland hills to the Atlantic Ocean. Otherwise, try sections of the Dingle Way, a walking trail that winds around the whole peninsula. Driving the rugged coastal Wild Atlantic Way? West Kerry sights on your itinerary might include the narrow, twisting drive through Conor Pass, dotted with lakes and waterfalls, the soft sandy beach at Fermoyle Strand (just the spot for family picnics) and the viewing deck with ocean vistas at Brandon Point (all 10 minutes).
