Binn na Tine [Sybil Point]

About Binn na Tine [Sybil Point]

Occupying the wild western tip of the Dingle Peninsula, this dramatic coastal Marilyn offers more character than its modest height suggests. The terrain consists of steep, windswept slopes leading to sheer sandstone cliffs. It serves as a spectacular vantage point for the Blasket Islands and the jagged silhouette of Skellig Michael.
