Summary
for Derryclancy (Doire Cluainsí):
Craggy top with fine views
Summary created by Colin Murphy
16 May, 2011
Park at the Healy Pass (Healy (V786 535)) and proceed directly up the steep slope to the south west. This eases into a gentler slope after a short climb. Continue SW, essentially following the Cork-Kerry border. The ground starts to rise more steeply again after a few hundred metres until you attain 450m altitude. Skirt the minor top called Coombane and continue on to the SW for approx 1km, the remainder of the journey being a relatively gentle incline. The going underfoot is generally firm, a mixture of grasses and small rocks. The summit itself is a blend craggy outcrops and grass. The outcrop topped with a small pile of stones is the highest point, at 554m, which on a clear day offers fine views in all directions, though especially of the rocky mass of Hungry Hill 1.5km to the south west. Journey time to summit 1 hour 15 minutes.
Part of a route we completed from the Healy Pass on the way to Hungry Hill. The rocky summit provides great views of Hungry Hill to the west and the Cummeengeera Horseshoe to the north and the innner part of Bantry Bay. The summit itself is covered in rocky outcrops and a few points could be determined as the highest point spread over a 100m radius. Nevertheless it is one of the few dry spots on an otherwise very boggy and rock slab strewn ridge.

Stormy Weather But Great Views
by Aidy
1 Aug 2016
I went over Derryclancy and Coombane on the the way from the top of the Healy Pass to Hungry Hill. It was the worst day, weather wise of our weeks holiday in West Cork, and visibility was practically zero for most of the walk, and I was drenched by the end of the walk. It was all worth it though, even though I had no views on Hungry Hill, as the sun broke through the clouds as I returned over Derryclancy and Coombane. On the slightly lower ground, I was now just below the cloud ceiling too, and the views over to Lackabane and Glanmore Lake were stunning in the stormy weather.
