Picture: Arts Lough with the track also clearly visible
Arts Lough Loop
by darrenf  7 Aug 2010 Parked up at the carpark next the footbridge at Baravore T066942 (Point C). Crossed the Avonbeg River via the footbridge. Contuined along the gravel track which leads up to the an oige youth hostel and shortly afterwards we took the track which bears left (contuining on the original track will take you further into the Glenmalur valley). Followed this forest track right around into Fraughan Glen where the views really open out in front of you. The entire track is not clearly identified on Sheet 56 but it will take you deep into the glen and only really peters out at the back wall of the glen - at this point another faint track can be picked up which stays to the right hand side of the benleagh river and continues up and over Fraughan Glen. Spectacular views back down the glen and across to Lugduff can be enjoyed.

Once on top of the glen you wil notice a fairly obvious and steep looking 'grassy ramp' to your left hand side at roughly T044928 (Point D). Taking a route directly up the ramp will being you to the ridge (marked as the Ballinaskea area on the map) which leads across to the cliffs overlooking Arts Lough. A well deserved lunch break can be enjoyed here while savourying the spectacular views before you. From this point a faint but easily identifed track emerges which will take you directly to the summit of Cloghernagh. From the summit if you take a route toward T061924 (Point E) you will discover another track which will take you safely down to the shore of Arts Lough. Well worth taking another short break!! Further obvious tracks emerge which descend along the forest edge and take you back onto the gravel track leading into Fraughan Glen. Simply retrace your steps back to the car at Baravore. A very enjoyable walk.
Point C: T066 942 Point D: T044 928 Point E: T061 924

No deer but...
by darrenf  7 Aug 2010 In Wicklow it would be uncommon not to spot a deer on almost every major mountain walk but I never came across a wild mountain hare until Cloghernagh. He might not be very clear in the photo but this little fella almost 'followed' me for some time and was by no means shy!!

by csd  6 Apr 2003 Cloghernagh from the other side! Park at Dromgoff barracks and follow the Wicklow Way signs into the forest on the right. Use the Healy Glendalough/Glenmalure map to head for Kelly's Lough. This makes a nice spot for lunch. You can then head up Cloghernagh and come down on the Glenmalure road, or else head east over Carrawaystick Mountain and follow the tracks back down to Drumgoff barracks. Picture shows Kelly's Lough, with the spur of Carrawaystick heading towards Lugnaquilla in the background.

Picture: Clohernagh across Glenmalure valley		  
by kaybee  3 Jun 2008 In glorious sunshine on Saturday last, the June bank holiday weekend, on my way back from Lugnaquillia I followed the (very distinct) path along the ridge between Lug and Clohernagh. This day was particularly busy with many other walkers in pairs, groups and singular also out enjoying the fresh air and stunning views of the Glenmalure area.

Clohernagh's summit marked with its cairn is not exactly spectacular in itself, but certainly commands some fine views: east over the Glenmalure valley to Mullacor and beyond and north to Benleagh's imposing cliffs and further to Turlough Hill and Tonelagee.



My chosen descent from Clohernagh was to drop about 160m east and pick up the trail that approximately follows the National Park boundary line depicted on Map 56, (this trail is clearly marked on the more detailed Harvey map). Following the boundary I turned NE at T0717 9207 (Point F) and dropped down through the fairly steep heather and boulder slope to reach the forest's southern corner.

Keep to the forest's edge and cross a barbed wire fence, be careful after this as the going gets quite steep and a nasty tumble is only a misplaced footstep away. I found it helpful to use the wire of the forest perimeter wire fence on the left as a handgrip for each step of the trickier parts of this descent. After another 500m or so, you'll cross a second barbed-wire fence after which it's only a short amble back to the car-parking area on the Glenmalure cul-de-sac at T0797 9285 (Point G).
Point F: T0717 9207 Point G: T0797 9285
