Important Before You Start

For the safest and most enjoyable experience, begin your tour in Dingle and follow the Slea Head Drive in a clockwise direction.

This audio tour has been carefully designed to follow the route clockwise from Dingle, ensuring that commentary, directions, viewpoints, and points of interest appear in the correct order.

We strongly advise against driving the route in an anti-clockwise direction. Tour buses, coaches, and the majority of visitor traffic travel clockwise, particularly around the western tip of the peninsula where sections of road become extremely narrow.

Travelling against the normal flow of traffic can lead to difficult passing situations, unnecessary delays, and a less enjoyable experience. In some locations, the road is not well suited to larger vehicles travelling in opposite directions.

Why Travel Clockwise?

  • Follow the tour exactly as it was designed.
  • Travel with the normal flow of traffic.
  • Enjoy safer driving conditions.
  • Access viewpoints and stopping locations more easily.
  • Avoid delays on narrow coastal roads.
  • Experience the route in the correct order for GPS-triggered storytelling.

For the best overall experience, we recommend starting your journey in Dingle and completing the full Slea Head Drive loop in a clockwise direction.
