About
Rychlá fakta: Conor Pass is one of the island's highest mountain passes, rising to roughly 456 meters along a narrow, single-track road through steep cliffs. Drivers, cyclists and photographers share the route with grazing sheep and tight hairpin bends, creating dramatic roadside moments especially when fog or low sun appears.
Hlavní zajímavosti: A single-track road squeezes between sheer rock faces so tightly that sheep can graze within two metres of passing vehicles, producing tense and memorable encounters. Late-afternoon light often bathes the rocky slopes in warm gold while salt-laden wind carries the smell of sea and peat, making the view thrillingly atmospheric for photographers.
Insider tips
- Wear windproof layers and sturdy shoes, weather can change quickly at elevation.
- Drive slowly and use designated lay-bys for photos, the road is narrow and passing space is limited.
- Head to the main summit pullout at golden hour for panoramic shots facing the Blasket Islands.
- Avoid weekends and mid-day in high season if you want quieter stops, early mornings are best for fewer coaches.
