The Conor Pass also known as Connor Pass, is the highest mountain pass in Ireland. Conor Pass is situated on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, on the road
that crosses the peninsula between Dingle Town and the coast
on the other side. The Mountains the Connor Pass crosses are the Brandon
Mountains and contain Ireland's second highest peak Brandon Mountain
at 3127 ft. From Dingle Town the road runs some 4 1/2 miles rising
to 1500 ft as it winds its way to the pass. There are wonderful
views of the coast. At the Pass there is a carpark where you
are confronted with this magnificent sight. The road then carries
on down towards Brandon Bay past cliffs, a waterfall and lakes. |
