Dingle Peninsula

The Dingle Peninsula (Irish: Corca Dhuibhne) is the northernmost of the major peninsulas in County Kerry. It reaches out into the Atlantic Ocean and ends beyond the town of Dingle at Dunmore Head, the westernmost point of mainland Ireland. The village of Dún Chaoin is often referred to as "the next parish to America"
