The 456-metre (1,496 ft)-high pass on the Dingle Peninsula linksDingle, in the south-west, withBrandon Bay andCastlegregory in the north-east. The scenic road leading to the pass weaves its way around the sharp cliff faces and past highcorrie lakes.[4] At its highest point it passes between the mountain peaks of Binn Dubh ('Beenduff') and Sliabh Mhacha Ré ('Slievanea').[5]
A twisty one-lane asphalted road leads to the pass. The drive is considered one of the most beautiful in Ireland.[6] Vehicles over two tonnes in weight are prohibited from using the road in order to avoid difficulties in passing.
