coomhola bridge by bog road

This walk actually starts about 3 miles from Glengarriff village at a place known as Crois na Bothar. Leaving the village and passing such easily recognizable landmarks as the Golf Course, entrance gates to Glengarriff Castle and Derrycreha National School, you reach a lone house at a point hwere the main road is intersected by a by-road going left and right.
Proceed on the left hand one and you will travel in an easterly direction towards Coomhola. Less than a mile along here the road levels out by some peat bogs.

There is a rough track leading to Glasslough fishing lake which is worth a glimpse on the way. Follow the tarred road for a further mile and a quarter and you will emerge at a cross-roads. From here roads lead to The Priests Leap, Borlin Balley, Ballylickey, Pearsons Bridge and Snave. For a short diversion visit the lovely Coomhola Church a little way over the birdge directly ahead of you.

This is quite a long walk if attempted from the village, but it can be considerably shortened by using the scheduled bus service to drop-off or pickup point.
