Don't wing this activity...plan ahead and book with a local tour agency. We saw people getting caught on one end of the other with no way back to their car. We took a tour that included boating on the three lakes of Killarney and a jaunty-car ride thru the gap. Wow...words cannot describe. The lakes were stunning, we warmed up... more

I recently visited the gap via Kate Kearneys cottage.I had hired out a 4x4 for my week stay in Killarney and as my wife has a bad back I decided we would drive through the Gap but oh no!! I was stopped by what I can only describe as a middle aged Traveller who told me it was forbidden to... more

We were advised from our host in B&B in Kenmare that taking the Gap from the south would be no problem. Our idea was to arrive at Lord B'scottage and walk to Kate Kearney's Cottage then take a jaunting car back down.

We went in an aniti-clockwise direction, biking out to Kate Kearney's Cottage then through the Gap to Lord Brandons Cottage, making it there in time to have our picnic lunch before loading ourselves and our bikes onto the boat... more

At the start of the road there was a sign that says only local residents and maintenance vehicles are allowed on the road but I saw many tourists driving... more

This is a gorgeous walk/bike ride! Definitely a must see!! more

What a memory! I took this tour with my four kids, husband and father. The trip includes going by bus to Kate Kearneys' Cottage; going up through the glorious mountain pass on pony/trap; and in the afternoon, coming down through the three lakes by boat into Ross Castle, and then a bus returns you to town again, (or to your... more

This is definitely a must see! My party and I travelled up by car (1st and 2nd gear only!) as it was well after 6.00 pm - but when next in Ireland I shall do this again via horse and trap. Absolutely beautiful scenery of the raw kind! more
