Ireland's highest and most thrilling mountain road.
The R560 Conor Pass climbs to 456 m across the spine of the Dingle Peninsula, one of Ireland's highest and narrowest public roads, a single-track shelf cut into the mountainside with corrie lakes below and the Atlantic on both sides. Spectacular and tight; mind the oncoming cars, the rock walls, and the weather rolling off the sea.
