resh seafood landed on the quays of Dingle. From the restaurant, to your left along the foreshore, towards the harbour entrance, there is a tower, which is a "folly" and was built in the late 1840's as famine relief. To the right of the lighthouse, which was built in 1885 at a cost of £589.00, is the entrance to a cave - known as "Nancy Brown's Parlour". It is said that the cave extends back to the old Presbytery in Dingle and it was to be the escape route for Marie Antoinette. Whatever about the French Revolution story, it is a delightful place to sit, overlooking two beautiful small beaches "Slaudeen" and "Been Bawn". It is also from here that one can view the friendliness and acrobatics of Fungi the Dingle Dolphin or alternatively, you may catch a glimpse of Fungi from where you are sitting in the Coastguard Conservatory.
