4km walk up gently rising trails
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  21 Mar 2024
The starting point at G8707344228 starA has enough space for a couple of cars. Continue up the farm track, which rises very gently up for almost 1.5km through woods and then on to open hillside. At G8717245480 starB you will see an old wall on the left running perpendicular to the track, with a short tree growing alongside it, leave track and head directly up the grassy slope. You should be able to pick up a faint trail running parallel to a tiny stream – this continues on and off all the way to the summit, which is a further 2km to the north, the slope gentle and mostly short grass underfoot. You will pass a pointy marker cairn along the way. A tall cairn marks the highpoint. Allow two hours up and down. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/725/comment/5484/
