This is a wonderful 15km walk through Gurtacullen Wood (part of the Tipperary Heritage Way), climbing the hill and then walking on to the nature sanctuary at Kildanogue Duck Ponds.

This is a beautiful nature walk through Gurtacullen woods. Because of the checked nature of the roads among the woods you'll pass two points on three seperate occasions. 

The views from the hill behind the woods are spectacular all the way up, there is then a fairly steep descent down a track.

The walk finishes with a trip to the nature sanctuary at Kildanogue Duck Ponds via a track through the woods which crosses a couple of streams.

You'll need boots for this one ideally although, in very dry weather, you'll get away with runners. Parts of the route around the duck ponds are quite wet no matter the time of year though, as they are on marshy ground by their very nature.

You'll find details of other walks in the area on www.clogheen.net/walks.
