Glencar to Glenbeigh
-
GlencarFoto: Heleen Bosch, Macs Adventure
A gentle walk combining woodland paths with views of the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, Lough Caragh and the Dingle Peninsula.
Panoramic views to the wooded valley of Glencar and Lough Caragh enchant you as you round the hill and then ascend the gentle lower slopes of Seefin. Glenbeigh is situated on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and is a great place to revel in traditional music and old-world pubs.

Veiligheidsaanwijzingen
The terrain is a combination of riverside paths, gravel tracks, forest paths and some minor roads. Although the roads and lanes can be quiet it's always best to walk on the right to face any oncoming traffic and make yourself as visible as possible.
There is a steepish ascent to Windy Gap (340m) followed by a steep descent, please take good care, especially in wet and windy conditions.
There is a risk of ticks in the grass. Use insect repellent and check your body on arrival in Glenbeigh.

These maps and routes are designed to be used in conjunction with our traditional documentation. We have recently embarked on a conversion initiative to bring the two elements together, and this itinerary will be covered in due course.
In the meantime, using the two elements alongside each other should go a long way to ensure you have a safe, enjoyable and problem free day.
