To the north of the main road can be seen Lispole Viaduct, an impressive relic of the Tralee and Dingle Railway. This seven-span rubble stone-built railway viaduct bridges the Owenalondrig river and opened in the 1890’s.

Lispole railway station station opened in 1891. Passenger services finished in April 1939. Regular goods trains continued until March 1947 with a monthly livestock train running until July 1953.

Faid a mhair iarnród Thrá Lí agus an Daingin, thiomáin na traein ar Tharbhealach Lios Póil, iarsma suntasach
den iarnród a thrasnaíonn Abhainn an Lóndraigh. Cé gur stad seirbhís na bpaisnéir in Aibreán 1939, lean an
traen ag iompar earraí agus beostoc go dtí gur stad an seirbhís ar fad faoi mhí Iúil 1953.

5km south of Lispole the remains of Minard Castle stand dramatically above Kilmurray Bay. The castle, originally a stronghold for the Knights Of Kerry was attacked by the English Cromwellian army in 1650 and structurally damaged. Minard Castle which featured in the famous motion picture “Ryan’s Daughter” sits on private land and you are not permitted to enter but it is easily viewed from the road.

Dhéan arm Chromail ionsaí i 1650 ar Chaisleán Mhin Aird, a bhí uair ina dhún ag Ridirí Chiarraí. Cé nách bhfuil
an caisleán ach 5km ó bhaile an Daingin, tá sé ar thalamh príomháideach agus níl cead isteach, ach tá radharc
maith air ón mbóthar. Cuireadh an caisleán isteach sa scannán “Ryan’s Daughter” chomh maith.

Thomas Ashe (14 January 1885 – 25 September 1917). Lispole is the birthplace of Thomas Ashe the patriot famous for his part in the 1916 rising. A school teacher in Co. Dublin he was a member of the Gaelic League, the Irish Republican Brotherhood and a founding member of the Irish Volunteers. On 25 September 1917, Thomas Ashe died as a result of force-feeding. He is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery Dublin. He is remembered with a new monument at his birthplace in Kinard and a small display at the door of Dingle Library.

Tomás Ághas (14 Eanáir 1885 – 25 Meán Fómhair 1917). Rugadh an tírghráthóir Tomás Ághas, a bhfuil cáil Éirí
Amach 1916 air, i Lios Póil. Chaith sé blianta ag múineadh i mBaile Átha Cliath, áit a raibh sé ina bhall de
Chonradh na Gaeilge, Bráithreachas Phoblacht na hÉireann, agus ina raibh sé ina bhunaitheoir ag Óglaigh na
hÉireann. Cuireadh i Reilig Ghlas Naíon é, agus tá leac cuimhneachán i gCinn Aird agus Leabharlann an Daingin
dó.

This small inlet below Minard Castle is of great geological interest. 380 million year old fossilised sand dunes are visible in the cliffs. The large sandstone boulders form one of the finest examples of a storm beach in Ireland

Tá ana shuim i gcuan Bhéal na gCloch ag geólaithe, toisc go bhfuil dumhcha níos mó ná 380 milliún bliain d’aois
le feiscint sna faillteacha. Tá na carraigeacha gaineamhchlocha seo ar cheann de na samplaí is fearr in Éirinn dá leithéid.

This narrow stone bridge was built without the use of mortar and is one of the few medieval stone bridges still standing in Ireland. No longer in use it crosses the Garfinny River on the old Dingle to Lispole road above the N86. Garfinny bridge has been declared a national monument of Ireland and has been restored recently by the OPW.

Tógadh Droichead na Gairfeanaí gan aon mhoirtéal in aon chor, agus tá sé ar cheann de na droichid
meánaoiseacha is sine atá fós ina seasamh in Éirinn. Fógraíodh ina Shéadchomhartha Náisiúnta é, agus tá
athchóiriú déanta le déanaí ag Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí.

At Kinard is the small beach of ‘Béal’, overlooked by the dramatic seastack known as ‘An Searrach’ or ‘The Foal’ which is visible from the Conor pass as you descend into Dingle town.  The beach is a haven for sea anglers.

Tá ana thóir ag iascairí duántaíochta ar thráigh bheag ‘Béal’, atá faoi stac farraige dhrámatúil ‘An Searrach’. Is
féidir é a fheiscint ón gConair ar do shlí isteach go baile an Daingin.
