VERY POPULAR KILFINANE LOOP WALK

The very popular 10km loop walk which starts in the centre of Kilfinane, the route follows minor roads down by the Old Mill, on to Ballyriggan for about two kilometres to reach forest tracks and paths through woods in Killeen, Slievereagh and Ballintubber. The last few kilometres follow minor roads back to Kilfinane. The purple arrow marks it so no fear of getting lost. The highest point on this walk is 336m.

Kilfinane Loop overlaps for part of its way with Ballinvreena Loop which is a 7km walk which starts at Ballinvreena Hall, and you follow the Blue arrows. Some of the views and scenery are breathtaking and should not be missed. www.visitballyhoura.com, or you can enquire further information at Ballyhoura Tourist Information Office in Kilfinane (063) 91300. There is also an excellent Ballyhoura Walking Trails Guide App that brings you to the starting point of each walk available for both Android and Apple mobile phones. No excuse to get the walking boots on and enjoy!!
