Ballyguile Hill: Undemanding walk to an unprepossessing summit

A flying visit!
by Dessie1  26 Apr 2011
Approached slieveboy from the East side roadway which when followed will take you all the way up to the "Slieveboy loop" which is a track which circles the hill.Continue around either side of the loop and you will meet an ascending track/detour which will bring you all the way to the summit. Great views of surrounding hills on a clear day.Roughly an hour up and down should be plenty of time for a leisurely walk.Note:A lot of flytipping evident on the hill from the entrance gate all the way to the top.-Shame :( Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/739/comment/6318/
