moderate
Distance 10 km
This is a lovely walk with not too many climbs. There is a slight detour of a few hundred yards that brings you to the most wonderful views to Mitchelstown and the Galtee Mountains across the valley.
The starting point can be reached by leaving Ballyporeen via the Araglin road. The first right turn on this road, a few miles out will take you quickly to the starting point which is the first forest road to the right.
You can bring dogs if you wish but beware that you'll be passing some private houses early in the walk that do have dogs, so you may have to keep them on a leash. There are no further houses once you leave the concrete roadway.
Most of the walk is on forest tracks, but there is a long stretch of concrete roadway close to the start.
Bring walking boots/shoes or runners, some weatherproof clothes a drink and a snack.
The walk is about 10km, it is not at all difficult and should take in the region of two hours to complete at a moderate pace.
