The Conor Pass is one of the highest paved mountain passes in Ireland, on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, southwest Ireland, about 6 km northeast of Dingle town in a straight line. Its Irish name means «the way» or «the path». The pass reaches 456 metres and links Dingle in the southwest with Brandon Bay and Castlegregory in the northeast. At its highest point the road passes between the peaks of Beenduff and Slievanea. Parts of the road are a single lane even though traffic runs both ways, and vehicles over two tonnes are not allowed. The road winds around sharp cliff faces and above small corrie lakes in hollows of the mountains, and from the top wide green valleys open out to the sea on both sides. Small waterfalls spill over rocks near the road, and sheep dot the slopes. Visitors drive the road slowly and stop at the summit car park for the view, and some climb a little way to the mountain lakes. On the narrow stretches one car may have to reverse, so drive with care; mist sometimes covers the top.
