You should totally do this drive. It's just stunning. Travel from Louisburg to Delphi. Don't rush it because there are plenty of photo opportunities. There's a mobile coffee van en route. Really good coffee and panini's.

The Black Valley lies on the road between Moll's Gap and the Gap of Dunlow - a beautiful and isolated valley in the heart of Killarney National Park. Most visitors hasten by on the way to the drama of the Gap of Dunloe. Instead, stop, look around, take a walk. The Black Valley was the last place in Ireland to receive an electrical supply - in the 1970's.

We drove through the Black Valley from Kenmare to Killarney, It is an absolutely spectacular drive (on a dry and bright day) road very narrow and twisty The water falls and streams for rock-hopping are simply magical and at the bottom there is an area where you can picnic BUT BRING YOU LITTER HOME PLEASE.

We stayed at the airbnb, Dunloe Cottage, a short walk to Kate Kearney’s Cottage and Heather’s Cafe at the start of the Gap of Dunloe. The Cottage was spacious and magnificently presented and located a 10 minute drive from the Killarney town centre. Dan and Breda were welcoming and very accommodating. Highly recommend spending a few days in the Cottage as a base to explore the Gap, Black Valley and Killarney Lakes. Ideal for hikers/walkers, bike riders and rock climbers.

one of my favourite spots in Ireland; you can walk, cycle or drive through this valley a thousand times, and each time experience different colours and sensations; mountains and lakes and sheep to keep you company; and a monument to remind you of the horrors of the famine, with inspiring words from Archbishop Tutu and others along the plinth, from where you can contemplate the beauty of this place.
