About Beenduff

Rising above the village of Gortbreagoge, this 513-metre Tump occupies a central position on the Dingle Peninsula. Its grassy, often boggy slopes offer a quieter alternative to the higher peaks, rewarding walkers with a clear perspective across Dingle Bay toward the Iveragh Peninsula and the distant, jagged peaks of the Reeks.
