AN CHONAIR discovery point

Probably the worst weather so far! 🌧️🌫️

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

The 456-metre (1,496 ft)-high pass on the Dingle Peninsula links Dingle, in the southwest, with Brandon Bay and Castlegregory in the northeast. The scenic road leading to the pass weaves its way around the sharp cliff faces and past high corrie lakes. At its highest point, it passes between the mountain peaks of Binn Dubh ('Beenduff') and Sliabh Mhacha Ré ('Slievanea').

Apparently, the views from the road are breathtaking, with a glaciated landscape of mountains, corrie lakes and a broad sweeping valley spread out below. Not that we saw any of this... the cloud or fog and biblical rain saw to that!Read more
