Carrauntoohil Mountain

Reviewed By KattySmyth - Belfast, United Kingdom

We started our journey of by parking at Cronin's Yard for 2 euros and excitedly started our hike up Ireland's highest mountain. I will say that it is a long hike and certainly proper hiking boots and kit essentials are recommended as the weather wasn't the greatest for our hike. But don't let this put you off, if you have the hiking gear and experience behind you, this is a brilliant hike. Trails are easy enough to follow and you'll be sure to have hikers in front or coming along behind you but it is not busy. The walk to the bottom of the Devil's Ladder is a great way to get the legs moving before a tough ascent and when up out of the Devil's Ladder it's up to the right and towards the peak. We descended down the Devil's Ladder and returned back to our car feeling exhilarated. We did have sore legs the next day but well worth it
