In the middle of Killarney National Park is a small mountain pass known as the Gap of Dunloe. If you want to visit the gap you will be told the only way to see it is by paying for a an expensive hours and buggy ride or my bike and foot. However if you wait until later in the evening around after 8:30 you can manage to drive through the gap.
