Baile an Fheirtearaigh, the most westerly village on the Irish mainland, has about 200 residents in the Corca Dhuibhne Gaeltacht of County Kerry. Irish is the daily language here. The village is named after Pierce Ferriter, a seventeenth-century Gaelic chieftain and poet who was one of the last to resist the Cromwellian conquest and was hanged in Killarney in 1653.
The Dingle Peninsula beyond Ballyferriter contains one of the highest concentrations of archaeological monuments in Ireland. Gallarus Oratory, a perfectly preserved early Christian stone building shaped like an inverted boat, has shed rain for over a thousand years without mortar. The Blasket Islands, abandoned in 1953 when the remaining 22 residents were evacuated to the mainland, are visible from Slea Head. The islanders produced three remarkable autobiographies: Tomas O'Criomhthain's An tOileanach, Muiris O'Suilleabhain's Fiche Blian ag Fas, and Peig Sayers' Peig.
The Blasket Centre at Dunquin, designed by the OPW, documents the island community's literary and cultural legacy. Hotels in Dingle, ten kilometres east, accommodate companion meetings.
