Short Summary created by CaminoPat  17 Jul 2018
This summit is best reached via Knocknabro West Top. Park at laneway to old farmhouse now in ruin at W15905 83498 starA. Room for 1-2 cars to park. Climb gate at entrance and follow post and wire fence heading north until W16029 84252 starB. From there head across open hillside in a NNW direction. It is slow going across long grass and heather cover to the summit. As you gain altitude you will meet another post and wire fence coming up from the west, i.e. on your left hand side. Follow fence to Knocknabro West summit, which is located along the fence line. No obvious marker for summit other than a nearby very small lake, which on the day of the walk was almost dry. Fantastic views across the Blackwater Valley and to the west towards The Paps. From the summit when facing north the post and wire fence heads to your right for approx. 50 metres and then turns NE in the general direction of the summit of Knocknabro North-East top. Follow fence until it ends at W16319 86025 starC. From there the summit area is in view although less than 400 metres away. There is no obvious marker point other than a small raised bog area at the summit. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1454/comment/18082/
