Ballyguile Hill: Undemanding walk to an unprepossessing summit

Summit Comment hibby 4 days ago
Ballyguile is another hill that, were it not for the Local 100 list, I might never have been aware of. We parked in an estate called Mountainview (a propitious name!) and used the recommended...

Summit Comment hibby 4 days ago
I'll be honest; I had never heard of Knockbrack until it showed up near the tail end of my "Local 100" list. A little bit of research and I came across the fascinating fact that it may be the...

Picture: Black Rock and the tombolo		  
Long walk from car along beach
by Fergalh  25 Jun 2023
Park at 637 507 starA on Streedagh Beach. Walk north east along beach until you reach the tombolo at 657 527 starB. Walk along centre of the tombolo where it is not as slippy. A small minor scramble leads to the high point with good views along the beach and coastline. Around 3.2 km from the car to Black Rock's high point, as always check the tide as the tombolo can be quite narrow or non existent ! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2079/comment/23996/
