"The Gap of Dunloe is a stunning mountainous valley with lakes and streams running through it alongside a winding, single track road. This valley is absolutely breath taking and one my personal favourite places to visit in Ireland.
I advise arriving early at this location as it can become quite busy during peak times in the summer months.
There is the option to ride an old fashioned Irish pony trap through the valley, which many avail of."

"The gap of Dunloe is a narrow mountain pass parting the Purple Mountain Group range and the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks mountain range. It takes about 2 and a half hours to walk the Gap of Dunloe (from Kate Kearney’s Cottage to Lord Brandon’s Cottage), totaling at about 7 miles."

"Be careful while driving since there are a lot of sheeps, horse-drawn carriages, pedestrians and bikes and it's a oneway road."
