Tara Hill - Forest Trails & Pleasant Views

The Coillte trail head at T21313 62432 allows for parking for around 4 cars and is an ideal place to start this little walk. Sadly, and as with so many Coilltle forests, there has been clear felling done here in the past. Having said that the views as you ascend the forest track are quite pleasant.

There are a network of trails which are not marked on any map that I have but are easy and fun to explore. This was our first time here and a loop walk was easy enough to make up as we went. The summit itself has a Trig Pillar and a geocache. The views from the rocky summit are slowly being hid as the trees slowly take over. Eucalyptus trees and Bilberry can been seen through out the hike, a very pleasant outing.
