Fergal from Kerry
An excellent walk, with a variety of surfaces. Climb up towards the Cairns on the RHS is a nice push, loose stones so good boots a necessity. Very boggy in places leading up to Seefin but on a good day I am told you can see the mountains of Killarney from here, I am not sure about this though! Great views of the Golden Vale and Castle Oliver on this walk.
Duncan from Limerick
This is a really enjoyable walk. Make sure you start from the car park or you will find it difficult to follow the markers. The path is high quality and leads up through forest to a lovely ridge with great views. The walk to Seefin at the top is boggy but is worth the detour.
