Perhaps it was just Irish kindness, perhaps it was the mystic influence of Jerome Connor (1874-1943), the sculptor born in Annascaul, or perhaps it was just meant to be! A year ago, I arrived in Annascaul and was standing in the Tom Crean Memorial Garden before the annual endurance walk held in honour of that heroic Antarctic explorer.

Annascaul lies in the southern foothills of the Slieve Mish Mountains along the Wild Atlantic Way. With a great choice of cozy and welcoming accommodation, informal eateries, and lively pubs, Annascaul is a great place to base a visit to the Dingle Peninsula and enjoy the village and magnificent surrounding landscape.
