The Dingle Way lacks no shortage of small picturesque villages around the peninsula. There is never more than a few hours of a walk before one passes through a stop-off point and take the opportunity to have a meal and a drink to replenish lost energy.

The Post Office generally tends to be the hub of the community. As villages start to get smaller in size after Dingle, the role of the post office will take on a larger amount of services offered. Many will have internal pass machines, which means that any money that needs to be withdrawn from them will have to be done within working hours - this will usually be from 9.00 to 17.00 with an hour off between 13.00 and 14.00. Many will also deal in a limited amount of grocery products.
