Slievereagh Loop Walk
This route follows a grass path, forestry road, and minor roads as you loop around Slievereagh. It takes you through a peaceful mature forest and there is a beautiful meadow in the heart of the forest with old standing stone ruins. Parts of this trail may be overgrown in certain seasons so long pants are advised. There are some hill climbs to navigate so appropriate footwear is recommended. It's well worth the effort for the stunning views of the Galtee and Ballyhoura Mountains on a clear day.
