With its feet in the Glenahoo River and its back resting up against Coumbaun, this peak looks out south west towards the head of the Dingle Peninsula. The name suggests that there was a bleaching green in the locality, which would necessitate a large expanse of sloping grass, well exposed to the sun.

The summit may be reached, either by walking in through the enchanting Glenahoo River valley or as an extension of a route across from Coumbaun and Beenoskee . Either way, it is a challenging trek requiring around 3 to 4 hours if approaching along the Glenahoo track. There is ample parking at the old burial ground and church just off the R560 road, about 400m west of the Glenahoo track entrance. Extreme care should be taken when walking along the R560, which is a very busy and narrow road.

There is no problem with access. This track is way-marked in along the Glenahoo track, but it is only of use just beyond the head of the valley because it swings back south and up over the ridge, away towards Anascaul Lake. There are no fences to cross and the peat hags near the col are innocuous. Care should be taken at the summit as there can be high winds and there is a sheer drop west to the Glenahoo valley floor.

Easter Saturday'05started here for me, after a really good Good Friday on Brandon Ridge. Parking clear of the bend on the Conor Pass road at 544 101 A head up the Glenahoo road, leaving it at the gate around 546 098 B to ascend the flank of the glen on a steep track which attains the ridge about 400m. Stay near the western edge for a splendid view across Beenbo toward Slieveanea and Dingle Bay beyond. Visiting Coombaun I would commend only to dedicated '600' baggers. Best to ascend Beenoskee directly or detour over Glaneteentassig north. Cross the fence edging this for a memorable sidelong view over rocky buttresses toward An Duloch. As you head for Stradbally top you will note a commemorative banner about 100 metres to the east., erected by the friends of Donald Earlie, who died aged 22 imn January 2004. Beenoskee can than be reached from the east , descending steeply northward to the lake,where photo fans who haven't left their apparatus 200 miles away might get a fine panorama of both tops. A return to the start can be made from here , those with two cars may find Tomasin's in Stradbally a compelling feature of the homeward view. One of the higher points of a a great weekend.

From the car park at 582051 C, by lough Anscaul, we followed the track up hill past the Waterfalls to the wide col between points 396 & 383. From here we struck out cross country, crossing several streams & peat hags to reach the summit of Beenatoor, with its fine views of Beenbo. From here we descended to a col and climbed up to Coumbaun, crossing a wire fence on the way.

Re: Milo's comment on Beenatoor - The Munster Jersey near the peak of Stradbally was erected, by his loyal friends, in memory of a fine young Limerick man, Donald Earlie, who died suddenly (aged 22) in January 2004. Don's friends replaced the Munster flag with an Irish Flag Summer 2006. The Irish flag was replaced with a Limerick flag during Summer 2007. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/291/comment/1680/
