Ballaghbeama Gap
Our picks for self-drive routes in the Kenmare area. We have included Google Map routes for all of them. However mobile signal is sometimes patchy/non-existant in rural Kerry so we recommend downloading the area for offline use before you set out. See this link for instructions on how to do it.
Please do understand that we are not a driving tour company, these suggestions are some of our personal favourites but we take no responsibility for any issues that you may have either on the drive or with our directions. That being said we hope that you enjoy the drives and the beautiful county of Kerry

Key Information

This one is a great drive, but a drive best taken slowly and carefully. The Ballaghbeama gap is one of our favourite roads and is a route that travels far off the beaten track. The majority of the Gap is a single track road, keep your eye out for passing places and be prepared to reverse/back up to let others pass you.
We will let the route speak for itself (see our map), we have included Ladies View as a suggested lunch spot on the way back to Kenmare. Ladies view is on a section of the route that is also included on the Ring of Kerry so be prepared for it to be busy. If you can’t get a table then don’t panic, carry on to Kenmare where are you are guaranteed good food in any one of the many restaurants that our fantastic town has to offer.
