Tory Hill can be accessed along forest tracks that lead to the summit. There Is an information board and parking at S58551 22634 A. Some routes are described on the information board. The forest track curls completely around the hill in an upward spiral leading to the sumiit in a couple of kilometres. The forest thins out and disappears at the summit. When the track ends a small trail leads through the heather and gorse up to the Marian Cross at the summit. Tory Hill's position offers great views across the south east. Beware of cattle on the hill in the summer as they may chase you off the hill. Also there are some rocky outcrops and 15 foot drops to the south and east of the summit that could offer a nasty fall to those not paying attention.

I have a guilty pleasure. If I admit to once wearing a bootlace tie with the southern cross on it you might guess what it is.I like CountryNIrish music. And not the softcore DanielO either, the hardcore Big Tom and the Mainliners, Larry Cunningham and the Mighty Avons, The Merry Ploughboy Dermot O'Brien! Imagine then my joy when I parked my car at S58678 22817 B at 8:30am and, as I was walking into the forest past a milking parlour, I heard the cows and farmer enjoying some music at full volume! A good Sli na Slainte/National looped walk board just inside the forest entrance will show you where to go.The summit area, which is of a conglomerate rock with a thin cover of peat, is quite littered and decorated by a large cross from 1980 but the views! On a clear day this little summit offers so much of the south east up to you.Despite the litter if you get the weather go, you will not be disappointed. All together now" Old flames can't hold a candle to you, no one can light up my life like you do........" Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/962/comment/4480/
