Peaks and Panoramas

The Iveragh Peninsula's rugged landscape is home to Ireland’s highest mountain range, the MacGillycuddy's Reeks. This collection highlights Carrauntoohil, rising to 1,038 meters, alongside the serrated ridges of The Big Gun and Purple Mountain. Key vantage points include Ladies View, named for Queen Victoria’s court in 1861, and Moll’s Gap, a glaciated mountain pass offering vistas of the Black Valley. Further west, the Coomakista pass provides clear sightlines across Kenmare River toward the Skellig Islands, while the Head of Dunloe marks the summit of a narrow glaciated valley.
