Dúnloe Gap

Dúnloe Gap

Dúnloe Gap is located in County Kerry, Ireland. Stretching 11 kilometers from north to south, it features a narrow pass in the middle with five tranquil lakes connected by a gently flowing river.

For many years, Dúnloe Gap has been one of Ireland’s more popular tourist destinations. The road that runs through it is extremely narrow and windswept, making it unsuitable for large vehicles. The best way to explore Dúnloe Gap is by taking a horse-drawn carriage ride — visitors can rent a local carriage here. Aside from carriages, cycling is also a great option, allowing you to get some exercise while enjoying breathtaking views of the grand canyon at every turn. The oldest sandstone cliffs of Dúnloe Gap have become a favorite spot for rock climbing, attracting numerous climbing enthusiasts who come to experience the thrill of the sport.

Dúnloe Gap has also served as a filming location for Irish movies. Parts of *The Crying Game* were shot here, and the on-screen version of Dúnloe Gap is spectacular, drawing many movie fans to visit the real canyon after seeing it on film.
