Fenit Harbour

Highlight • Structure

The Tralee-Fenit greenway opened in October 2022. This small waterfront village marks the start (or end) with superb views of the Dingle Peninsula. Great Samphire Island is now home to Fenit Harbour. This can be visited by pedalling across the causeway. Little Samphire Island is out to the south west, complete with a 19th century lighthouse.

Barrow Harbour

Highlight • Lake

Here the road passes right next to the shoreline of Barrow Harbour. It may look calm now, but in the past it was a busy port due to the religious centre just inland at Ardfert. The ruins of Fenit Castle sit atop Fenit Island to the north west.

Ardfert Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The ruins of the cathedral and churches form a moving whole, a testament to the intense spiritual life of the Middle Ages. There are graves from the time of the first monastery (6th century), founded by Saint Brendan the Navigator. The cathedral (13th century) is now nothing more than a great open-air ship, which will amaze you with the elegance of its high Gothic windows. The statue (13th century), placed in a niche in the northwest corner, is thought to represent Brendan. On the west side, the Romanesque portal (12th century) has been renovated with a little too much enthusiasm, but the Irish Heritage Preservation Office unfortunately does not have the means to bring in specialists. The other two buildings also contain remnants of sculptures, one with flowers, the other with griffins.
