Driving up the winding road from Ardara is a little scarey but at least you're on the side that does not have a drop-off. Once you get to the top, the panorama is exquisite...enjoy! Pictures/photos do not do it justice.
Whether it is a sunny day, cloudy or raining, the view is breath-taking. There is a pull-off there now so you can take as many pictures as you want. There is a delightful winding road up to the top.
Glengesh (and it's lesser known sister granny) are superb for a walk/cycle or drive. The scenery is breathtaking winter or summer. Make sure you are not a nervous driver…..if so just take it slow and pull in well in advance if you see another car coming. An absolute must if you are in the Ardara area.
The scenary is amazing, you can stop on many different spots and make some great photos as the landscape is magnificent.
Breathtaking! Unmissable! Stop in all the laybys and drink it all in. Drive through and back again. The views are equally stunning from either direction.
this is a very nice drive!very nice if take a bike but also good by car.dont forget to stop at every stop to take a picture!
Pictures do not do this area justice. The scenery is so breathtakingly beautiful and massive on scale that the lens can't convey the geologic gravity. Just go! Worth the drive!
Lovely drive, winter or summer, with a magical beauty. Take time to stop and enjoy the view and the magnificence of nature. Been hundreds of times, still enjoy the majesty and atmosphere.
We travelled with Irish Music Tours and enjoyed a loop which started in Ardara, then up Glengesh towards Slieve League, Teelin, Kilcar, and too many photo-worthy sights to see, back to Ardara. On a clear day (which we had) it is spectacular!
This is a lovely drive if you are in the area and well worth the visit. The scenery is beautiful- lots of opportunities for different views as you descend down through the pass.
