Binn an Tuair

About Binn an Tuair

Rising above the central spine of the Dingle Peninsula, this Tump offers a rugged, boggy ascent typical of the Kerry uplands. Though often overshadowed by the Brandon massif to the west, it provides a quiet, commanding vantage point over the sweeping curve of Dingle Bay and the distant Iveragh Peninsula.
