Knocknadobar is a hill of pilgrimage. The stations of the cross were erected by Canon Brosnan in 1855. One of the wells referred to in the name is St. Fursey's Well, located at the foot of the mountain, near the start of the pilgrimage route to the summit. It is visited for a cure for eye complaints. See Máire MacNeill, 'The Festival of Lughnasa' (pp. 137-39) for details of the mountain pilgrimage.   Knocknadobar is the highest mountain in the Iveragh NW area and the 128th highest in Ireland.

Started from the parking at Pilgrims path, easy to find from reading the other comments. Make sure to check the weatherforecast, the views are superb along the way to the summit. It took us 4,5 hours to get to the top and back with our 2 daughters (6 and 9). Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/123/comment/20589/
