If anyone could please give me driving directions through Conor's Pass from Doolin to Dingle? I bought an AA Glovebox Atlas which came in the mail today. Unfortunately, the route is not indicated on the map as Conor's Pass.In RS's "Ireland 2007", it does mention that Conor's Pass goes by Tralee Bay and Branon Bay but does not list the road number. Which two towns does it connect? I could get a "route planner" from www.aaroadwatch.ie.if I had two towns to connect. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Sybil

Guess I need a new map. Mine doesn't show the road name/ number cutting from south to north on Dingle Peninsula. I know Conor Pass is from Dingle Town to Kilcummin, just thought the road name would be good idea. Guess it doesn't have one. AA route finder routes me through Killarney to get from Dingle Town to Kilcummin via N86 adn R561. Know that's not right. Sorry. Just thought perhaps there is a road name for route to Bandon Mountain. Google maps doesn't have it either...

From Tralee take the road to Dingle and Brandon/Cloghane - the N86 - as far as Camp ( Railway Tavern ) the road to Dingle goes left there. CONTINUE STRAIGHT ONWARDS to Castlegregory/Cloghane/Brandon on the R560 . Don't turn for Castlegregory - proceed through Stradbally. At Fermoyle/Kilcummin the road splits -right to Brandon/Cloghane and LEFT to Dingle over the Conor Pass. There will be a sign warning that the road is unsutaible for large vehicles. Don't take a camper up there!!!

Thank you so much Ceanna! I appreciate the directions. Don't worry about the Camper. I'm renting a small economy car. Thanks again. Sybil

Sybil, if you purchase a Michelin map for Ireland I know it's on that one since I used it myself. Probably available at a local Barnes & Nobles. Coming off Conor's Pass, you decend upon Dingle from the clouds, almost! :)
