Getting to Pax House from Tralee (via Conor Pass)
As regards getting from Tralee to Dingle. Take the N86 from Tralee, you will
pass Blennerville, about 12 miles out of town, there is a choice of routes,
there is a fork in the road. If the weather is fine and there are no clouds
on the mountain top, then I would take the lower road, the one on the right
and it is marked as Castlegregory-Connor Pass, this will take you over the
mountains and into Dingle, the views are great but you need a clear day,
towards the summit the road does narrow and there is room only for one car
but there are areas that one can pull in and let oncoming cars pass you by, jjust take your time and all will be well, but it is worth it.
Arriving in Dingle from Conor Pass
When you the you arrive to Dingle there will be a T junction, the Old Smokehouse

slope downwards, there in a corner veering to the right, go around the
