Moll's Gap

After crossing the River Laune the road forks. The N70 continues straight ahead to Milltown, west of which are the ruins of Kilcoman Abbey, while the R562 turns east and, following the river, continues on the Ring of Kerry. 4mi/6km from the road fork, 0.5mi/800m away on the banks of the river, stands Ballymalis Castle. The road now traverses the Killarney lake district and climbs, with fine views to the rear, to Moll's Gap, and then descends through beautiful scenery, with many bends, to Kenmare, the starting point of the drive. (Killarney to Kenmare, 21mi/34km).
