A small vantage point at the waterfall then a gradual climb up out of the forest for a walk in the open before entering the forest again. Great views. Wear walking boots as it is wet/muddy in parts.
October 7, 2020Great trail, signage is slightly different to the mapped trail here but still very easy to follow, make sure you have your boots!
October 3, 2020September 22, 2020fabulous day out with 11yr old (used to hiking). took the orange trail (10km). Not easy but very doable. Beautiful views and great mix of forest, river, boardwalk, road.. will definitely be back
September 20, 2020Local to home so very familiar with this, it’s doable for all moderately fit people. First of many in the Slieve Blooms.
September 13, 2020A very enjoyable hike. It has several routes so make sure you know which one you want to complete. The blue route is a nice child friendly route that passes by a lovely stream/waterfall before looping back. However the other routes that continue on are more challenging and boots are recommended because it gets wet underfoot. The track on that way down gets a little overgrown.
September 5, 2020August 25, 2020Not young kid friendly, first time hiking for us, granted we didn't know we were going hiking, we thought this was a waterfall walk. My wife and I enjoyed the fact it was something different, but with a 7 year old and 3 year old it felt dangerous at times. Took 3 hours to complete the blue (easy) trail.
August 4, 2020Great walk with lots of rest points, route choice and points of interest.
