Keel Uphill Downhill Loop Walk
Notice of trail temporary closure: Due to works being carried out by the OPW this walk is temporarily closed.
If you are lucky you might see otters, natterjack toads, curlew, sea bass sea trout and salmon as well as sheep, foxes, hares and wild goats on this walk. It brings you through fields, along river banks and a mountain path with some old bóithríns, quiet roads and a short section on the R56, passing an old thatched cottage and close to an interesting old graveyard. There are great views north to the Slieve Mish Mountains and south over Castlemaine Harbour and towards Carrauntoohil (Ireland's highest mountain).

beautifull stretch over a grass dike along the stream/river. lesse stretch on a tarred road to get from the river to the hills.

The going on this walk is relatively easy, with integrated steel steps over walls and some well situated picnic benches for a flask of tea\sandwich break if the mood takes you. Two Tí Tábhairne are situated in the village at the start\end point both of which were closed when we finished around 1pm, but looked cosy and we passed a nice farm house B&B which looked lovely if you were thinking of making a night of it.
All in all a well planned, well facilitated and well maintained trail - highly recommended.

We will do this again and add the 3.9 km loop at the slip.
