Driving over the Wicklow Gap

The road that heads west out of Laragh climbs the valley to the Wicklow Gap, the pass between the mountains, with bogs, heather and open views on both sides, and drops down towards Hollywood and the southern motorway. If you are driving to Kilkenny or going back to Dublin by the west, it is the scenic route; the coach tours from Glendalough to Kilkenny also cross it.

It is narrow and winding, and remember that you drive on the left. At the top there is room to stop for photos.
