Join local guide Declan Clancy for a rewarding guided walk through the scenic landscapes surrounding Kilfinane, taking in woodland trails, historic sites and panoramic views across the Ballyhoura region.

Starting in Kilfinane Town Centre, the route heads towards Ballyriggan Woods before following Palatine Lane, an area steeped in the history of the Palatine settlers. The walk continues through Killeen Woods, the historic location where the famous Irish rebel Staker Wallace was captured.

From the forest road, the route ascends to The Pinnacle (Sliabh Ria), where walkers are rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the Galtee Mountains, the Ballyhoura countryside and the surrounding landscape. The walk then descends via the Lazy Dog area before returning through the beautiful Ballyriggan Woods to Kilfinane.
