About Conor Pass Waterfall
Conor Pass Waterfall is by itself not a very remarkable, but you don’t need to work for it physically as it’s right by the car park for it.
It’s why I consider this waterfall to be more of an excuse to explore the popular Conor Pass (An Chonair in Irish Gaelic) on the Dingle Peninsula.
In addition to the roadside panoramas you get from the established Conor Pass area, exploring the nearby waterfall also provides additional panoramas as well as glacial lakes.
One of these lakes is the Lough Doon (Pedlar’s Lake), which is surrounded on three sides by granite walls as well as being the source of the flow of the Conor Pass Waterfall.
In any case, driving up to the Conor Pass and the Conor Pass Waterfall (1.5km to the east of the pass) is an exercise in patience.
That’s because this part of the Wild Atlantic Way is both well-traveled as well as precariously single-lane while hanging on a cliff ledge.
Once at the car park for the waterfall (see directions below), you’ll see that the waterfall is just right there.
However, to linger a bit longer, you have the option of scrambling up the granite slopes and boulders (you’ll likely see other people doing this).
The reward for doing this is to see some of the upper cascades of the waterfall as well as the source of the waterfall at Lough Doon (also called Pedlar’s Lake).
This scramble took me less than 15 minutes in each direction, but I did have to be careful as the surface was slippery in parts.
So good shoes and dry weather are recommended for attempting this, especially when you consider that this is not an official trail.
Overall, I spent about 35 minutes away from the car, but the optional Pedlar’s Lake took most of that time.
