A mini horseshoe
by TommyV  28 Mar 2021
I mostly followed Aidands directions. There is now a sign on the road marking the path for the Dulhallow Way at beside the bungalow mentioned by Aidand, and several more going through the private farm so I don't believe access through here is an issue. Parking might be as it's tight even for one car. I made a mini horseshoe out of this hike by continuing on from Caherbarnagh over to the East top and then dropping back down to the Dulhallow Way.
