There's a lovely walk in Joss Lynam's "Best Walks of Ireland". Start at Oldbridge and head up to Scarr. The start is uninspiring, but as you descend Scarr and head for Kanturk, the vista of Tonlagee and Glenmacnass to your left and Knocknacloghoge and Djouce to your right is quite breathtaking. Lunch is at the copse by the NW shore of Lough Dan, followed by the quick trot up Knocknacloghoge for some more fantastic views. We had originally planned to cross the Cloghoge river by the stepping stones and cut straight up to Ballinafunshoge, but there's a "No Dogs" sign and it is lambing season. Instead we headed towards Lough Tay and up to the Pier Gates, returning to Oldbridge via the Wicklow Way. In all, 7.5 hours at a fairly easy pace. The picture shows the summit of Scarr taken from Kanturk. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/210/comment/354/
