The tranquil town of Anascaul is just off the Dingle Way. Here you will find a shop to stock up on provisions. You also have a small selection of accommodation. A popular hangout for locals and tourists alike is the South Pole Inn. What does the South Pole have to do with an Irish pub? The polar explorer Thomas Crean is a son of the city of Anascaul. You can learn more about the adventurer over a freshly tapped Guinness.

The "South Pole Inn" was founded by Thomas Crean, an Irish polar explorer from Annascaul. He took part in several expeditions with Roald Amundsen (e.g. reaching the South Pole) and Ernest Shackleton. After his last expedition, Crean opened the South Pole Inn in his hometown to accommodate travelers and adventurers who, like him, wanted to explore the far north. The South Pole Inn became a well-known meeting place for polar explorers from all over the world, who exchanged stories about their expeditions with Crean.
