MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Knockaughna in area Mizen/Sheeps Head, Ireland

Picture: Summit Area.

Typical of the Area.

by sandman 2 May 2017

This hill is typical of the underfoot conditions of other hills in the area unless they have marked trails that is rock , whitish grass and boggy in many places. The fastest ascent is straight up off the R591 at the farm gate located at V8879436873 star

A but you can have a more relaxed approach via the gravel track at V8827134660 star

B. At the very end of this track is a turning area and from there you will see a gate leading to the hillside, although you will cross two fences you will be rewarded with a nice ridge walk. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1195/comment/18903/
