Bealach (pass)

This overlook sits at 417 ft along the Wild Atlantic Way, facing 330° with land dropping 140 ft within 600 m of the viewpoint. The outlook takes in a mix of nearby features and distant peaks. Irish Sky Garden lies northwest at 1.4 mi (193 ft elevation), with The Rock north-northwest at 2.8 mi (105 ft) and Rossa Park northwest at 3.2 mi (14 ft). Further along the same northwest-facing arc, Hollybrook house Japanese Garden appears north-northwest at 4.5 mi (90 ft). Two peaks extend the view into the distance: Mount Kid to the northwest at 9.4 mi (938 ft) and Knockaphukeen west-northwest at 10.1 mi (518 ft). Tobar na Súile, a feature to the north, sits at 10.7 mi (388 ft), marking the farthest point recorded from this position. A bench precedes this lookout along the route. Sunrise and sunset times shift across the year, with the June solstice offering the longest span of daylight (05:20 to 21:59) and the December solstice the shortest (08:41 to 16:30), useful for timing a stop to match available light on the features listed.
