Conor Pass

Conor Pass or Connor Pass (Irish: An Chonair) is one of the highest Irish mountain passes served by an asphalted road. It is located on the R560 road in County Kerry, Ireland.

Geography

The 456-metre (1,496 ft) high pass connects Dingle, on the south-western end of the Dingle Peninsula, with Brandon Bay and Castlegregory in the north-east.

Access to the pass

A twisty one-lane asphalted road leads to the pass. The drive, inadvisable in bad weather, is considered one of the most beautiful in Ireland. The scenic road leading to the pass weaves its way around the sharp cliff faces and past high corrie lakes. Vehicles over two tonnes in weight are prohibited from using the road in order to avoid difficulties in passing.

Bicycle ascent to the pass is one of the most famous and difficult climbs in Ireland.

Amazing narrow road and the view is just amazing! On the way up there is a small parking place. Above the parking place (2 min walk up) is nice lake. The black rocks makes water looks like black

Such a breathtaking scenery, can't believe it's so easy to get up there. The road can be very narrow at time so be careful.
