carrigrour and rossnashunsogue walk

This walk can be done clockwise or anti-clockwise, but, clockwise is recommended as being the less steep ascent and more pleasant scenically. The entrance to the walk is at an iron gate on the right of the Kenmare road, approximately 1-1/2 miles from Glengarriff village.
Passing through the gate you walk on a roughish path ascending steadily around bends to another gate at the summit. Just beyone this point magnificent views of the harbour area and Garnish Island can be photographed. After a brief pause here, maybe investigating the ancient sites nearby, continue downhill until a juntion is reached with an attractive dwelling hours on your right. Take a sharp left here and continue upwards passing several new bungalows on the way. Gain the view from the summit here is spectacular.

It is possible to pick out local landmarks, hotels, golf course etc. The road eventually peters out at a farmyard. Return from here, ignoring the road at Reenmeen Bridge near the Eccles Hotel.
