N70 around the Iveragh Peninsula. Lakes, a bog, Atlantic inlets, and a coach convoy if you start late. Ireland’s famous loop — still worth it if you leave at seven.

Top highlights

  • High altitude260 m
  • Ladies ViewThe lakes. Early, or you will queue for the lay-by.
  • Moll’s GapThe first real height. Then the peninsula opens.
  • Road qualityMostly good N-roads, tight in the villages, coaches on the clock. Sheep. Rain in any month. Anticlockwise puts you against the buses.
