Kilmalkedar Church (or Cill Maolcheadair) is a historical site on the Dingle Peninsula that…read moreincludes a 12th-century Romanesque church ruin and other ancient monuments like an Ogham stone, sundial, and alphabet stone. It was founded by St. Maolcethair in the 7th century and is also strongly associated with St. Brendan the Navigator. The site is situated on the Cosán na Naomh pilgrimage path. Our tour bus stopped here soon after visiting the Blasket Island Visitor's Center on our way back to Dingle. As I'm on a local Nevada Cemetery Board, Graveyards intrigue me in terms of headstone design, what's stated on them, and the honoring of those we died during Ireland's independence battles with the bridges. Then there were all the "random" stones with mass graves belong marking those who died during the Great Hunger. The place was oddly peaceful and we wandered around and one of the few Irish monuments that didn't have a gift shop.

Five stars for the oratory itself, which is impressive, even if we don't seem to know anything…read moreabout it. Zero stars for the experience. We visited the oratory via the public footpath to the south rather than the visitor center to the west, and mistakenly exited via the visitor center, where a rude man insisted we buy tickets despite there being no sign requiring tickets or naming prices. "Everyone does it," he said, as if that were a reason to do anything. Certainly unethical to require a fee after a visit with no information about the fee, and probably illegal.

The shrine is popular landmark along Slea Head Drive. Some people call it the Slea Head Crucifix. The exact area is named the "Cornerstone of the Peninsula" because it marks the boundary between two Parishes of the Dingle Peninsula. It was funded by an Irish-American and erected before the1960"s. It stands as a memorial to the fishermen who have lost their lives at sea. I visited the Shrine while driving the 33 mile Dingle loop. The road is very narrow but there is a turn out in front of the statue that will allow you to comfortably access the shrine and take photos. It is pretty popular so you may have to wait your turn to visit.

This cathedral is absolutely beautiful. It was the first cathedral that was built in Ireland after…read moreCatholicism was legalized again in the 1800s (according to a jaunting car driver we had at one point) and it is absolutely massive. It's also an active church with regular services, so make sure to check their website before you try to visit. I attempted to visit multiple times and ran into mass, a funeral, a wedding, and a baptism before I finally got in. The outside of the cathedral alone is absolutely gorgeous. The inside has the most beautiful stained glass windows and it all feels very peaceful and calming. I'm not a religious person but I can definitely see how people feel closer to God here. You can take all the pictures you want inside and there is no fee to enter. As far as I know there aren't any guided tours but I could be wrong about that.

Of course the outside of the church is nice too, it is a lovely traditional looking church both inside and out that is pleasing at any time of the year really. This is a proper country church too as you will always find an old man or two standing outside at the church wall on a Sunday there to speak to his friends and have his weekly chat, then its off to the local shop to get some messages for the week and maybe a pint for good luck. Can be found anywhere in the country really but Glengarriff isn't a village that misses out on this Irish tradition.
