Subject: RE: Dingle Peninsula-best places for music & sight
Don't miss the Blasket Heritage Centre; the Cafe Literatera (spelling's wrong) in Dingle for books, recordings, soup and sandwiches; Gallerus Oratory; Kilmakadar; Brendan's Cove and, if you wish, you can take a boat out to the Blaskets and wander around for a couple of hours (there are NO pubs, stores, or anything much out there -- just memories and great scenery).
My wife's folks are from Ventry-'Cross-The-Bay, and they still have the old farmstead straight down from the Tower.
Oh, yeah -- for good (and expensive) leather goods Holden Leather has their factory and shop in an old National School near the old Ventry estate (follow the signs, it's a one-and-a-half lane road).
