by nohoval_turrets  21 Oct 2002 There's lots of approaches to Knocknacloghoge, but the most fun is the steep south side. Not so much a walk as a scramble, but there are no rocks, and it's quite safe.

by JohnC  4 Jan 2004 Further to Doug Lane's comment about the shores of Lough Dan, I walked along the shore after descending Knocknacloghoge last Friday and the path has been much improved. Gorse has been cleared to create a wide path that's impossible to miss. Views from summit are breath-taking - even better than neighbouring Luggala (Fancy). I combined with a walk from Fancy for a great mid-distance one day walk. Took a south west bearing descending which meant I skirted the cliffs at the south which look like they could be tricky. Definitely one of Wicklow's under-rated hills.

Picture: Knocknacloghoge top from the NW
Approach from the North West
by Colin Murphy  1 Jul 2010 Decided to approach Knocknacloghoge from the less popular (and possibly in hindsight, less interesting) approach from the NW. Parked at Point 113 074 (Point A) at a sharp turn in the military road (room for a few cars) and walked back up the road about 750m to Point 120 074 (Point B) and then set off directly South East across heathery, gently rising terrain. It was bone dry the day I did it, but I imagine it would be a quagmire in the winter. The 'climb' is incredibly gentle - 250m over 2.5km, and the only time any effort was required was the the final 50m ascent. The route as I said was fairly uninteresting although one does get a wonderful sense there of being in the middle of nowhere, no roads, buildings or man-made structures visible in a 360 deg panorama. The summit itself isn't bad as Wicklow goes. It is rocky and defined and presents some fine views. There and back to the car 2.5 hours including a leisurely lunch.
Point A: O113 074 Point B: O120 074
