The Ballyhoura Way, which is a 90km way-marked trail, is part of the O’Sullivan Beara Trail. The Way stretches from John’s Bridge in North Cork to Limerick Junction in County Tipperary, and is essentially a fairly short, easy, low-level route. It’s a varied route which takes you through pastureland of the Golden Vale, along forest trails, driving paths and river bank, across the wooded Ballyhoura Mountains and through the Glen of Aherlow.
The section from Kilfinane to here is on road, but from here it takes to a farm track and into a section of woodland. For most of the way it is at the edge of the wood with great views across to the Galty mountains.
