A beautiful hike in Kerry through the famous Gap of Dunloe: a stunning series of lakes, ravines and passes, crossed by flocks of sheep, in an almost arid mountain atmosphere as you approach the summit. A great option for escaping the crowds that come to the Gap of Dunloe by horse-drawn carriage or car. Breathtaking views of the Gap of Dunloe, Killarney's Upper Lake, the Black Valley, the ocean (to the west and south-west) and Ireland's highest peak, Carrauntuohil.
