Short walk up to a splendid view point. .. by group (Show all for Knockbrin )

An unexpected rest stop ! .. by Harry Goodman (Show all for Knockbrin )

No longer so easily accesible. Avoid this hill.

by magicstep 2 Jun 2017

I've been there few times in the past and it was nice, but this summit is no longer so easily accessible as of 2017 because there's a "Private, No Trespassing"sign at C1901215390 star

B, there's a new house at point C1877015384 star

D. Asking for permission is difficult without trespassing. Perhaps try climbing from the point C181157 star

A through the heather straight to the top. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1203/comment/19531/
