Brilliant views from the top, overlooking Dingle harbour and Bay. On a really clear day you can see the Ring of Kerry and the Skelligs. The route is well marked and the farmer is really friendly. The sheep are very fun to watch too. If you get the chance to walk this, please do...I promise it is well worth it! More

A little difficult to find the road to get to the site. For the cost of 2 euros and a 600 foot climb though the sheep pastures, one is rewarded with views across Dingle harbor as well as sweeping views across Dingle Bay. More

This was a great little hike to the tower you see across the bay at Dingle Harbor. There is an honor box and a little parking area and the base of the hill on the north side. It is an active farm so make sure you close the gates behind you. More

Used to live just below the tower and one of my favorite walks was up the hill to the tower. The views are SPECTACULAR. More

It almost killed us getting up to the top of this hill (me laughing hysterically as I slid around in mud) but it was so well worth it. I cannot tell you what it is like to view Dingle from this perspective on one side of the mountain and the Ring of Kerry across the water on the other. You... More

A short distance from Dingle town, a nice walk up a slight incline and lo and behold what a view! Just go there... More

I walked to Eask Tower from Dingle. I must admit it was challenging the first two miles on the large road but once you make the left onto the smaller road it was fun. The trip up the hill was exciting as one needs to hop two fences and watch for sheep. The view is fantastic and one of the... More

From a distance, the Eask Tower looks somewhat like an oversized Dalek. It's hard to miss from almost anywhere in Dingle, and getting there is fairly simple. Just follow the signs to the leather shop and keep going past for a bit. There is a sign that says "Eask tower" and a little booth where you can drop your entry... More

We drove to the Eask tower following the locals. Walked to the Eask Tower and sat on the beach watching Fungie play with the boat and the people in the water. The tower itself is beautiful and a great photo opt. More

For a great hike combined with beautiful views, you cannot go wrong hiking up to Eask Tower. It's a little hard to find, but just follow the winding road, park, pay your euro into the can (there was no one in the shed when we got there, but a friendly dog outside). Then start climbing through all those sheep! As... More
