Picture: Dingle tapers into the sea.		  
by simon3  10 May 2006 This is a great vantage point for summer sunsets, but as always we are at the mercy of opportunity.

The view West includes the black convex silhouette of Kells Mtn East Top, illustrating why its lower northern slopes are difficult to descend. Beyond Dingle Bay and right of the picture is Slea Head, the end of the Dingle mainland. Stretching left in the haze are the Great Blasket Island, Tearaght and Inishnabro. A veil of cloud hides the mysteries of Inishvickillane, so much easier to reach if you own a helicopter company.

Tearaght on the other hand has the distinction of being the most westerly point of Ireland.

by eoin  13 Jul 2004 [Duplicate comment from Beenmore - part of a 3 summit loop walk] Completed the three summits of Been Hill, Beenmore and Drung Hill in an enjoyable loop walk incorporating the Kerry Way. Parked just off the main road and started along the Kerry way heading south west. The way follows the western edge of Drung Hill and Beenmore before swinging behind Beenmore and dropping down through a small forested area and rising again to pass a small ridge beyond Been Hill. We left the path just past the forested area and climbed the rock-strewn slopes of Been Hill until we reached the summit ridge. After a brief rest and soaking up of the views we headed northwards along the ridge and then dropped and climbed to the summit of Beenmore, a shorter descent and rise to the final summit of Drung Hill. The sloping ridge of Drung Hill lead downwards and we eventually veered left down the slightly steeper and somewhat mucky/slippy slop to rejoin the Kerry Way a few hundred metres from the start point on the main road. Overall it was a relatively good stretch of the legs (about 4 - 5 hours walking) with great views across Dingle Bay to to Dingle and beyond and across the Iveragh Peninsula.

Picture: Coomnacronia from the cliff edge.
by simon3  2 Sep 2005 Westernmost of the big lakes of the Glenbeigh horseshoe, Coomnacronia Lake can be seen some 750 m NE of Been Hill. Steep cliffs lead 270m down to the water. Future ice ages will cut right across the ridge from Been Hill to Beenmore, but for humanity's era there is a glorious though short 250m cliff edge walk en-route between the two.
