Camphill Community Dingle
Dingle, Co. Kerry,
Ireland
 Camphill Community Dingle is a small community that was started in the autumn of 2004. At present we live in two rented houses that are a walking distance of the 44 acres plot of land on which we are hoping to develop our community. Being a pioneering community
our work is still based on establishing the houses and creating a vegetable garden from a green meadow. A small weaving workshop has started as well.
In the summer of 2005, the first residential adults with special needs will arrive after having help from visitors from other communities that have been with us from the beginning.
By trying to build links with the local community we are blessed with a lot of good will that comes towards us and are able to offer a very active social life.
Camphill Community Dingle is not far from the town of Dingle, on the Dingle Peninsula – an area famous for its outstandingly beautiful landscape. It is the only community within the Gaeltacht area (Irish speaking)and we can only strive towards acknowledging the
possibilities that lie in the rich heritage of this area.
