Ease of access and parking is a plus. There are two signs at the entrance saying 'Forest of The Dunbrody' and 'Site of Rebel Camp June 1798'. I learned from another walker that part of the wood has trees growing which replace the trees used for building the Dunbrody Famine Ship. There is a forest road going up the hill in good condition - a moderate incline. Half way up the a little stream appears and disappears again into the wood. I crossed a gate and two stiles to proceed to the top. At the end of the forest road there is a clearance with a seat to to rest. I turned onto a narrow path with gorse on either side leading to the hilltop. There are fantastic panoramic views to South Wexford, KIlkenny and Carlow. I could see Brandon Hill, Mount Leinster, Slievenamon, the Comeraghs and more. An obvious choice for a camp site and battle ground in 1798 as it is a prominent hill close to and overlooking New Ross. There is a 1798 commemorative monument and a holy year cross on the top of the hill. Overall a beautiful hill and a very pleasant walk. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1300/comment/16022/

On an early morning solo walk on Lacken Hill it wasn't only the lost souls of 1798 that accompanied me. I noticed small brownish moths flying in and about the forestry that spreads it's way around the slopes of this lovely little hill. Keeping a handy pot in my kit-bag I eventually captured one of them for a photo and ID. Turns out they were Spruce Carpet moths, common moths on the wing May to July and later September to November. Look out for them on a hill near you! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1300/comment/16102/

After you enter the Forest of the Dunbrody keep left following handrail up hill to stiles mentioned by previous comment and after you enter adjacent wood follow trail to the summit cross,trig and stone. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1300/comment/16094/

Turn off the N30 onto the L4013,signposted Lacken,turn right at first junction and forest entrance is a short distance on the left.I followed the Dunbrody forest trail up onto the hill crossing two gates up to a clearing,turn right here up a laneway marked with a rebellion monument sign before crossing a stile onto the summit marked with a holy year cross and rebellion monument.Nice autumn stroll through the forest onto this history soaked hill.Good views on a clear day but today some lingering fog spoiled this.
