Butter roads and Kerrymens tables
Short Summary created by jackill  23 Sep 2010 Mushermore is easily climbed from the car park at W320 856 (Point A). Walk down the road for 200 meters or so towards Musherabeg and you'll meet a track turning into the woods on your left.. Follow this track through the trees gaining height all the time. The track joins the Duhallow way after a bit and you can follow this on a fairly good track around to Mushera where it ends.
There's nothing for it but to head out across the mountain making a direct line for the summit.
Its fairly easy going all the way in a series of long steps. About 400 meters from the summit a series of bogholes block your path, go around them rather than through or you will get very damp feet.
The summit is marked by a large beehive of a cairn(which seems to be the highest point), a trig pillar and a few crosses made from sticks.The most direct descent is towards Millstreet Forest park and then back along the road to the car park.
Point A: W320 856

Looking at the map near Musheramore you will see "Kerrymans Table crossroads".The Kerrymans table is a large flat rock where people rested and goods were collected situated on the Old Butter Road which was constructed in 1747.It is four miles from Millstreet on the road to Rylane exactly mid-way between Killarney and Cork City, 25 miles on either side. It is also about 25 miles from Castleisland, a significant market town for the farmers of Kerry in past times. If you were to look at a map you will notice that Castleisland, Millstreet and the top of Blarney Street in Cork city where the Butter Market was situated, form a straight line "as the crow flies." This photo shows the trig pillar on Musheramore looking across at Mullaghanish, Knocknagowan, and Caherbarnagh with the Paps behind. Where the steep face of Cahernarnagh drops down to meet the plain below marks the edge of a large fault line that runs from Mallow to Killarney, though it is difficult to see as much of it was covered by glacial deposits in the last ice age.

Picture: cork city and coast from mushera
by rossbeighed  20 Mar 2009 taking the advice from the comments on this site I climbed Mushera from millstreet county park. Id always only ever climbed mushera from st johns well which was kind of boggy and heathery.
The ease at which I got to the top kinda suprised me (in comparison with st johns well) but then MCP is already at an elevation of over 1,000 feet even before you start. good views. on a clear day with binoculars or a TP lens you can see parts of cork city and the coast in the distance.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Musheramore in area Boggeragh Mountains, Ireland
by pdtempan  23 Nov 2003 In this view Musheramore is seen from Claragh Mountain, a lower mountain also overlooking Millstreet. There is a local saying about the weather relating to these two mountains: 'Ceo ar Mhusire's Clárach lom, an comhartha soininne is fearr ar domhan.' ('Fog on Mushera and Claragh bare - the best sign of good weather in the world').

Picture: View of Musheramore from Mullaghanish		  
by john_desmond  7 Apr 2005 The picture shows a view of Musheramore as seen from Mullaghanish. Note the shoulder to the South (right) which makes Musheramore very easy to recognise from a number of angles. This is the closest 2000 ft mountain to Cork City and can be easily seen from high points near the city. It is a very easy climb, about 45 mins up and 35 mins back. Start at the Millstreet Country Park.
