Coastal Hill
by sandman  5 Nov 2017
A very easy hill to access park at Q7092748155 starA and follow the overgrown gravel tract to within meters of the trig which is easily visible from the start. Good views especially to Loop Head Lighthouse which is well worth a visit. And if you have time visit also the "Bridges of Ross" only one remains but the plural is still used.
