The Gap of Dunloe is
a narrow pass between the Macgillycuddy's Reeks and the Purple
Mountains near Killarney, County Kerry. It begins at the renowned
Kate Kearney's Cottage and ends with a descent into The Black
Valley, a distance of approximately 11 km.
As one travels
through this breathtaking gap five small lakes are passed: Coosaun
Lough, Black Lake, Cushnavally Lake, Auger Lake, and Black Lough; in
turn, these lakes are connected by the River Loe from which the gap
gets its name. Between the first two lakes is an old arch bridge
called the 'Wishing Bridge' so called because it is said that wishes
made while upon it are destined to come true. |
