Cork – Killarney

Head west from Cork city following the signs for Macroom & Killarney (N22) (this is well signposted and easy to follow.

Killarney – Kenmare

Drive south from Killarney towards the Killarney National Park (N71). From here you drive past the lakes and up through the mountains towards Molls Gap. All along this route there are scenic stopping points but at the Gap, the views are incredible. You can see back towards Killarney and out over Kenmare.
