A misty Sunday morning walk took me up the mountains of Ballyhoura. I would suggest to GPS Ballyhoura Car Park before setting out as this will bring you to the beginning of the walk. The walk itself can become steep at times taking you past a ringfort and up over many hills and mountains including Seefin Mountain and a good workout. It is an area with many rocks and shadows in the distance and carries an air of mystery about it. There is a presence of steeping back thousands of years while standing within this environment. I came in early January which led to lots of bog land, though there is always access through.

If you enjoy coastal walks the Sheep’s Head way Loop Walks are great, but be aware that the loop walks are not an easy stroll! We spent 5 nights in a cottage just outside Kilcrohane, which was a great location for accessing several of the loop walks. We did one each day over 4 days: Lighthouse Loop Caher Loop Farranamanagh Loop Cahergal Loop They were all easy to navigate thanks to the maps at the car parks and regular way markers. There is lots of history on the Sheep’s Head and the scenery is beautiful. We were there during October 2020 and were very lucky with the weather, however the routes were wet and boggy. Don’t attempt the loop walks without walking boots, outdoor clothing, food and water. Published predicted walking times are based on 3km/hour but with the rough terrain and taking a couple of 15min breaks, we were doing about 2km/hour, meaning a 3 hour walk was taking us 4.5 hours. Congratulations to everyone involved in the walking routes, it was a pleasure to be able to enjoy access across the land and by following the signage it was reassuring that we weren’t venturing where we shouldn’t have.

A lovely walk to get away from it all. Met very few people on this loop. Started off by going left out of Fanore beach car park, & took right turns there after until coming back to the carpark. Start off with road surface & then the climb starts on the grassy surface. & it is a climb, & just when you think you have reached the top, you go around the corner, & there is another little hill. But once you reach the top of that hill, it is downhill all the way home. Lovely views once you get back on the road surface heading back to the carpark. Took 3 hours, with about a 20 min stop for a picnic lunch.

Spectacular views on this walk. Truly amazing and well-worth taking a few hours out of your day to go on it. It is not too difficult but good walking runners or boots are definitely a must. There are quite a lot of boggy areas (even in dry weather) to cross over. This is definitely a must if in Doolin or nearby.

Great trail. Some parts of the southern section can be really challenging. I used an app called Hiiker to do it, which was pretty much a 100% necessity as some sections there is little or no signage and it can get a bit confusing. The book is also good. I camped a lot of the Way by asking permission of farmers (mostly ????). I think you need a top-notch tent to do it. I have a Zpacks Duplex tent, and you need that level and quality of waterproofing. I had a groundsheet as well that was a necessity. I used a combination of gators and trail runners, but I was happy enough to get my feet wet in places. I feel like I got pretty lucky with the weather for the most part but equally, I experience the 4-seasons in a day weather the odd time!
