Slea Head Drive is a circular route along the Dingle Peninsula passing the most concentrated collection of ancient monuments in Ireland — Iron Age beehive huts, Gallarus Oratory, Ring Forts, and Celtic crosses — against a backdrop of dramatic Atlantic cliffs, deserted beaches, and the Blasket Islands just offshore. The film set for Ryan's Daughter was built at Dunmore Head and Star Wars was filmed at Malin Head nearby. Hotels in Dingle town are the ideal base for exploring the entire Slea Head route and the wider Dingle Peninsula Way walking trail.
