Gap of Dunloe

Gap of Dunloe is a narrow mountain pass in Killarney National Park, County Kerry, known for its quiet lakes, rugged peaks, and winding road between MacGillycuddy’s Reeks and the Purple Mountain group. Popular with walkers, cyclists, and jaunting car riders, it offers a slower way to experience some of Ireland’s most striking scenery. Visitors often combine it with a boat trip through the Lakes of Killarney, making it a good choice for those interested in landscapes, light outdoor activity, and a scenic day out.
