After the previous day in the Knockmealdowns had become a minor epic of mist and gale-force winds, of pitch darkness and headtorches, and astronomy...there's are definite benefits to Knockanore. As Mr Three5four0 says, you can drive to the summit, parking either as he mentions before the final bend on the access road, or being impossibly lazy and going right to the end of the road from where it must be a good ten yards or so to the highest point (the split-level concrete pillar rather than the triangulation column).

It's a tortured summit to be sure, both in the major (all the ancient telecomms paraphernalia) and minor (see photo) details, but as the highest thing for a large distance it does score highly as a viewpoint: miles and miles of coastline and acres and acres of lush farmland are arrayed for your contemplation. Coming as I do from England (where we don't have proper rivers) I especially noted the scale of the Shannon as seen from here: broad and majestic indeed.

The pic is the latest in my acclaimed series of shots of 'great pieces of flytipping in the Irish Hills': those trig points can be really uncomfortable to lean against, so we must thank the kind-hearted soul who left that car seat there. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/984/comment/4298/

Having visited the only other summit in the North Kerry group, Maulin we then tackled the highest which is 265m tall and must be the easiest summit to bag!. Following the directions given in earlier comments it was a pleasant stroll of 40m from car to trig point. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/984/comment/20904/

This hill in North Kerry is the highest point in the region so there are some nice views over the Shannon estuary. There is a road leading all the way to the top, so I bagged this one by driving to the top as per Peter Walkers directions. You can actually touch the trig point with your car.
