MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Knocknaveagh (<i>Cnoc na bhFiach</i>) in area West Cork Mountains, Ireland
Picture: Summit pillar
 
Easy hike up way marked trail.
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  30 Aug 2021
There is a very large car park (The Wild Atlantic Way Viewpoint) at W002 469 starA with parking for about 50 cars. Go to the eastern end of the car park and follow the way marked signposts up the gently climbing Sheep's Head Way, crossing several stiles before leaving the trail at W0097 4726 starB and continuing in a NE direction for about 600m over roughish ground, a mix of heather and grass, boggy in places. The high point is marked by a trig pillar. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1166/comment/15410/
