Picture taken in direction of Maam Cross and Lackavrea. As others have noted, spectacular views for little effort. The old bog road to the summit from the car park is very cute too.

Garinish island is not so much a challenge in terms of a hike but a visit here to learn how a baron piece of rock in Bantry Bay was transformed into a garden paradise. A stroll around the small island affords views that are up there with what you see on 600 metre plus mountains. Combine this with a walk around the nearby Glengariff Woods nature reserve and you will have a lovely day! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2481/comment/20540/
