Picture: Knocknagantee from the SW		  
by simon3  12 Sep 2005 Knocknagantee can be reached as part of a circuit of Coomavoher or as described by csd. The end of a track is shown to the left of a white post in the foreground of the picture which was taken from SW of the summit. This track can be reached from roads to the east.

Knocknagantee sticks out like the prow of a ship heading south. An impressive southern marker of the flat boggy plateau to the north of it.

Picture: Knocknagantee
by eric  19 Dec 2005 Knocknagantee - East Ridge (On the right) with Kenmare Bay and Beara Peninsula beyond. This photograph was taken north of Lough Coomanassig (O.S. Map 78: V675737 (Point A)) which is at the base of the East Ridge. Lough Coomanassig feeds via a spectacular waterfall into the larger Eagle's Lake located at the base of the south-east facing side of Knocknagantee. The summit of Knocknagantee is about 650 metres southwest from the top of the ridge.
Point A: V675 737

Picture: Lough Coomanassig spilling into Eagles Lough 		 
by peterkerry  3 Jun 2009 Great walking in the area with the great weather last weekend! We started up the road/track from the farmyard in Gloragh then cut off east to the base of Eagles Lough, up the LHS of the waterfall & kept left of Lough Coomanassig heading straight out the back of the coom before swinging west then south-west to the flatish summit marked by a stone pyramid (man made!). Descended via the farmers road which isn't far WNW from the summit.

PS - mountain known locally as Coomanassig or Coomassig in case you're looking for directions from Sneem.

Picture: Dramatic eastern cliffs over Eagles Lough.
Bedposts of the boggy bower.
by simon3  26 Apr 2011 Knocknagantee and Coomnacronia are two of the bedposts of the sagging mattress which is the upland bounded by them, Knockmoyle and Coomura to the north. A wild, remote spot made more difficult by a number of barbed wire fences.
One place to get a fine view of the cliffs of Knocknagantee is from the steep ground SW of Coomnacronia which is about 1km to the east, over Eagles Lough. Unusually the bigger cliffs of Knocknagantee, some 350m high, face east or south-east which you can see extending right from the top in the picture.
On the extreme right of the photo, Lough Coomanassig is just visible, though it is better seen in peterkerry's exciting picture.

by csd  20 May 2003 Access to Knocknagantee is slightly tricky - follow the instructions in "Best Walks" to the letter and you will eventually end up at the farm near 669 712 (Point B). If your car is in any way low slung, you'll need to take it very gently! The route itself is fairly straightforward, a circuit of Eagles Lough, Lough Coomanassig, and the summit of Knocknagantee itself. Keep well to the left of the waterfall on the way up to Coomanassig - the spray can make things quite slippy. Pick up the farm track on the way down off the summit (head west) - note that the track extends much further NNW than is shown on the OS map. Photo shows Knocknagantee from the eastern shore of Eagle's Lough.
Point B: V669 712
