Conor Pass waterfall

Description

Conor Pass waterfall

The Conor Pass is one of the highest mountain passes in Ireland and provides the most dramatic and scenic way of crossing from the north to south coast of the Dingle Peninsula.

This narrow, twisting road runs 12 km between the town of Dingle on the south and Kilmore Cross on the north of the peninsula, where roads fork to Cloghane/Brandon or Castlegregory.
The views from the road are breathtaking. Below, a glaciated landscape of mountains, corrie lakes, and a broad, sweeping valley spreads out.

At the steepest part, the road weaves around sharp cliff faces and passes high corrie lakes.
There are very narrow sections where two cars cannot pass, so drivers must keep their eyes peeled and be ready to stop at the wider sections.

Vehicles over two tonnes in weight are prohibited from using the Conor Pass to avoid difficulties in passing other cars.

There are two main viewing stops, one at Peddlar’s Lake on the north side and the other at the top. From the scenic car park at the summit, there are fantastic views north and south of the Dingle Peninsula along the Wild Atlantic Way.
