"Strictly No Access"
by TommyMc  4 Feb 2020
The Longford Tourism page on facebook has informed me that the summit trig pillar is on private land and that public access is prohibited. Not good considering it's a County High Point. I can't understand how the entire track from the road to the trig pillar isn't classified as an existing right of way. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/974/comment/20748/
