Glengesh Pass
Gleann Geis
A hairpin mountain road linking Glencolmcille and Ardara. From the top of the pass you can look down on a green glacial valley, making it a classic self-drive section.
The pass is about 270 meters high. The road descends to the glacial valley floor through a series of tight switchbacks. At the top there is a parking viewpoint, and on clear days you can see the whole valley and scattered farmhouses. It suits a self-drive route between Slieve League and Ardara. The road is narrow and steep, so large campervans are not recommended. Take care in winter when the road may be icy.
