Hello
I've been to Dingle before and I loved Ireland. I am from the PNW so I'm used to poor weather. I have a few weeks to travel in November. Is it decent weather: pants and a jacket? I was in Ireland in April before.
I want to hunker down and get to know some towns, instead of doing too many tourist activities. If that's not possible, any other European suggestions for November??

Greetings from Dingle
November is an ideal time to come.
Most restaurants linger on opened for this month because of the world famous 'Other Voices' music festival that happens then, if you can come for that, you'll be in for a treat.
November definitely sees a change in weather and it gets darker a lot earlier, remember its close to the winter solstice, but all the pubs are open as normal, the peninsula drives and hikes are idyllic and absent of the hordes of tourist buses, and the locals begin to emerge from the trenches after a hard-fought summer campaign of welcoming hundreds of thousands of tourists and have fun with each other and catch up, its a blissful time. Im speaking from a position of some expertise - I live here :)

Stephen, sold!
Could you provide your contact information as I may prefer a tour guide for some day trips?
Kind Regards
