Ceann Sléibhe

Ceann Sléibhe sits on the Wild Atlantic Way at 85 ft, at the westernmost part of the Dingle Peninsula in southwest County Kerry. The terrain drops 51 ft within 600 m of the overlook. The headland, along with the larger part of Mount Eagle's southern slopes, is formed from steeply dipping beds of pebbly sandstones and conglomerates of the Slea Head Formation, dating from the Devonian period and traditionally referred to as old red sandstone. It can be reached by the R559 road, with Ballyickeen and Coumeenoole as the nearest villages. Sunrise and sunset times vary through the year: around the June solstice, daylight runs from 05:22 to 22:07, while at the December solstice it spans 08:49 to 16:32. Equinox timings fall between these, with sunrise near 06:46–07:28 and sunset near 18:55–19:43. The previous lookout along the route is An Chonair, and the next is Ceann Sratha.
