Ladie's View

OpenStreetMap
Looking north-east from Ladie's View. Terrain and imagery at true elevation.

Ladie's View sits at 473 feet along the Ring of Kerry, between Moll's Gap and Ladies View, facing 60 degrees with terrain dropping 317 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. Newfoundland Bay Tunnel lies northeast at 1.2 miles, and Killarney National Park is visible to the northeast at 2.4 miles. Farther out, the peaks of the Dromderalough and Torc Mountain groups come into view across a range of distances: Torc Mountain W Top northeast at 3.4 miles (1,484 ft), Dromderalough NW Top east-southeast at 3.4 miles (1,994 ft), Torc Mountain itself east-northeast at 3.7 miles (1,663 ft), and Dromderalough NE Top due east at 4.1 miles (2,082 ft). The facing direction points toward sunrise, offset 30 degrees from square, meaning early morning light comes in fairly directly, ranging from a 5:19 sunrise in June to 8:45 in December. Torc Mountain, part of the Mangerton Mountain Group, is a walked peak reached by a stone or boarded path from Torc Waterfall, with its own summit views extending to the Lakes of Killarney.
