Gap of Dunloe. A comprehensive review

Most will be driving to the Gap. You might hike it or bike ride it or even take a Horse and buggy, but where to park . It is possible to park anywhere along the side of the road Legally and safely. I suggest parking midpoint then walk the Gap. There are tours from Killarney that include boat, horse and bus service. We chose to drive to the Gap. We parked just before the 1st stone bridge and walked the Gap. It's about a 2.5hr round trip hike.

Very beautiful, but I wonder how the natives of the area handle the tourist coming and going , things like blocking paths maybe lack of respect for life of the natives there . Here in Hawaii it’s a major problem especially since many tourist decide to move here . I always dream to go there cause I am not only native Hawaiian ( kanaka maoli) but Irish

There is very little employment in the area except for tourism.Apart from that its just sheep that doesn't generate much of an income,Further north the land is good for dairing and thats fairly profitable.They are issues with holiday homes and AirBNBs driving up the cost of housing,but without tourism no be would want to live their at all.Its kind of a chicken and egg

@@gallowglass2630 with Hawaii we have military here , and yes the cost of housing is unreachable for most natives , leading to them moving away to the continent US I’m blessed I bought back land that was confiscated from my family! Long political story , one day I pray I come to Ireland.
