A quick Stroll in Wexford Hills.
by Dessie1  26 Apr 2011 Walked Carrigroe on Easter Sunday.Approached from carpark area T0952150139 (Point A) and followed sweeping track until it came to a junction.Take the smaller track to the left which will bring you through some forestry with white marks sprayed on the trees to guide you to the hidden summit with trig pillar. No views at the summit as it surrounded by trees but nice views on route to top.30 mins up and down no problem.
Point A: T09521 50139

Easy walk but no summit views.
by simon3  9 May 2010 Access and parking is from T0952150139 where perhaps half a dozen cars can park and you can walk up a forest road. Keep left at the first small and next larger junction T09425001 (Point B) in the forest roads. Follow the forest road until it stops then take a well trodden foot path through the trees. This will bring you progressively nearer. When you are about 140m away (SE of the top) you should see a small sign for "Walk 1" - this takes you on a less defined steeply rising track mostly through mature trees.
The top doesn't have much of a view from the trig pillar.
Much of the wooded summit area and slopes leading up to it such as the west have been harvested and replanted. However the ground is, as of 2010, covered by briers and furze which is extremely difficult to push through. Stick to roads and paths which are perfectly feasible. A local man told me that there is a walk right around the summit and certainly there is an apparent continuation of the path to the summit leading NW which presumably joins up with forest roads.
The exposed rock on Carrigroe is some form of limestone.
Scene of rebel activity in the rebellion of 1798, an attack launched from here was one of the occasions that the rebels were initially successful.
Point B: T0942 5001
