Black Valley to Glencar
-
/ Lough AcoosePhoto: Macs Adventure Ltd
Challenge yourself with steady climbs and sharp descents into stunning valleys. Walk along quiet roads, forested tracks, and fields on this section though rugged landscapes.
Ascend out of the Black Valley to find views of Bridia Valley ahead. Walkers will need to take care on a couple of steep and bouldery descents from the two passes on this section. Follow quiet tarmac and gravel roads, as well as paths through forest, and fields.
Take in views to the wide Caragh River Valley and the range of hills beyond, dominated by the tilted triangular peak of Mulaghanattin (773m). Soon you’ll reach the shores of Lough Acoose, with views beyond to the Dingle Peninsula, western Reeks and Carrauntoohil, Ireland’s highest mountain (1,039m). Finally, you approach Glencar on the main road.
