annascaul's Description
Annascaul lies in the southern foothills of the Slieve Mish mountains. To the north of the village is Annascaul Lake, which drains southwards into Dingle Bay via the Annascaul River. Annascaul is located on the N86 secondary national road between Tralee and Dingle, near its junction with the R561 to Inch and Castlemaine.
The Dingle Way walking route passes through the village.
Annascaul was the birthplace of the Antarctic explorer Tom Crean, who was part of Robert Scott’s ill-fated attempts to reach the South Pole. A statue of Crean has been erected in the village opposite the South Pole Inn, the public house he owned.
