Summary
for Knockomagh :
A little hill with massive views
Summary created by Geo

It's approximately an hour in total up and down.
The steps can be a litlle slippy after rain, but the forest is a lovely enchanted place with mossy tree trunks and if you go in spring loads of flowers, bluebells and the like. No navigational difficulties and if you get a clear day you will have super opportunities from the top for photo's or simply great views over Lough Hyne, and the surrounding coastal areas.
Don't miss it if you are in the area.
Bluebells and birdsong

A very easy "climb" along trails and steps from Lough Hyne car park close to Baltimore. Lovely mixed forestry and lots of bluebells, violets, celandine in full bloom. Great view of Lough Hyne and surrounds from the top but also from view points on the way up which makes it an interesting ascent. Ideal for a family outing.

Knockomenagh.... A nice summers walk
by sbender

We 'climbed' this hill in June 2011. It's a very pleasant walk along paths and man made steps. This makes it very accessable.
From its summit the view is amazing... A fantastic panorama!
You can start the walk up from the knockomagh wood entrance (sign present), which is found across the road from the Lough Hyne shore, plenty of parking spaces available. You can go up and down or do a loop walk. It would even be ok with fit children.
The wood itself is special, because it has a large variety of broadleaf trees as well as coniferous species.
I would recommend googeling it to find out more details. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1039/comment/6655/

A lovely hidden gem.
by TommyV

There is room for a number of cars to park near the lake as mentioned by Geo with an obvious trail that can be followed directly to the summit of the hill through the Knockomagh Wood nature reserve.. Great views out over Lough Hyne, a sea-water lake and Ireland's first marine nature reserve. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1039/comment/20157/
