Dingle Penisula Gallarus Oratory


The Dingel Peninsula is absolutely gorgeous and the first thing we did was stop at inch beach on the way into town. After we left the hotel it was raining sideways and the door of the hotel burst open with howling winds... it was regular Irish weather.

The Gallarus Oratory was a must on my list and it was amazing. Again we had to travel down one of the smallest roads I have ever seen think goodness nobody was on the sides us because they wouldn't fit. 
I was told this is the oldest church in Ireland it still standing that's probably because it felt completely out of stone. Even though it was raining sideways it was fleetly dry inside the Gallarus Oratory church.
The Gallarus Oratory comfortably fits about 10 to 15 people and there's a small door and also a small window on the opposite side I believe this is some type of Archeo-astronomy architecture. When we walked in there was a woman who is completely spellbound looking out the window at the Irish countryside green pastures sheep and sideways rain. 

I noticed to Jones above the doorway with holes the size that could fit arms in here one. Outside there is a beautifully carved Celtic graveyard stone. 
Without a tour guide and considering there is literally sideways rain we couldn't stop to read about the Gallarus Oratory.
Only have for a few nice pictures and now we can do our research at home to get back from Dingle Ireland.

The Gallarus Oratory was one of my favorite stops. But again the signs were tough and it was hard to get to.
