This walk follows laneways, minor roads and open mountain as it crosses over the ridge, giving spectacular views of both Bantry Bay and Dunmanus Bay, with the Beara and Mizen Head peninsulas beyond.

Directions: Head east along the road for around 3.5km and turn right on a minor road for Glanlough. The walk turns right and climbs up the hill, following the ridge line. Continue until the Mass Path Junction, and turn right following the Mass Path back to the car park.
