Motorcycle ride in Munster

Dingle peninsula: Slea Head and Conor Pass

66 km (41 miles), 1 hr 20 min, intermediate

Starting from Dingle harbour, the Slea Head road follows the cliffs at the western tip of Ireland via Ventry and Dunquin, facing the Blasket Islands, then returns via Ballyferriter. The route then crosses the Conor Pass, one of the highest road passes in Ireland, narrow and dizzying, before dropping towards Castlegregory.
