With its dramatic tunnels, wild scenery, and packed with adventure, it is certainly a drive not to be missed! The route of N71 has been around since 1842 and is approximately 27km long (16.77 miles). It takes about 25-30 minutes to drive to the summit without stopping, but visitors should take their time as they pass through the beautiful Irish countryside and fog, which adds an element of drama. Still, drivers should watch out for rocks and sharp curves, which can make the road challenging at times.
