Bwlch y groes

From here it is possible to see the Aran Mountains. The thick black lines on the side of the hills are edges of peat bogs,which cover the hilltops. In 1920's and 1930's Austin's test drivers used this road to test their cars. It was called 'Hellfire Pass' by the English, but the local population returned it to it's original name of Bwlch y Groes
