The Vee Gap

The Vee Gap (Irish-Bóthar na gCorr[1]) Is located where the R668 road crosses the Knockmealdown Mountains, between Sugarloaf Hill and Knockshanahullion in Ireland.[2]

American country singer Johnny Cash visited the Vee Pass in 1959 at the time he composed the song Forty Shades of Green.[3][4]

The Tipperary Heritage Way begins at the Vee Gap and ends in Cashel.[5][6]
