Scenic Drives: Driving the Vee, One of the Most Scenic Roads in Ireland

Deep in the heart of Ireland lies County Tipperary, a beautiful and scenic place with lush green countryside and prominent mountains including the Galtees and Ireland's highest inland mountain, Galtymore.

Here in the south of the county lies the Vee, a twisty mountain pass forming a scenic drive between Cahir, the Golden Vale of South Tipperary and Lismore in West Waterford.

This is a an area, off the usual track, with views all around and stopping places to admire the stupendous views. 

Captured here on a sunny day with blue sky and white cloud in spring.

Here is my YouTube video of this fine journey through the Tipperary countryside, up to the Vee and to the viewpoint over Bay Lough, close to the Tipperary / Waterford border.
