On entering Caherdaniel village, note the sign for Bealaí Siúlóide na Sceilge, opposite the road which leads to both Freddie’s and the Blind Piper pubs.Take this road and continue up hill as far as Coom Cottage where you turn left. Having seen the views as you enter Caherdaniel from either direction, you know that these sights from the highest point on this walk will transpire to be equally spectacular.

Sporadically as you approach the top of Garrough / Coomnahorna, glimpses of the sea are visible through the mountains, but are nothing compared to the expanse of sea that is offered from the top, which is simply breathtaking. What a view to have on your descent!

Continue on this road until it meets the main road once again, where you will turn left. Continue past the school and back into the village for the final stretch of the journey. Please note that this is a particularly busy road throughout the year but especially during the summer months so attention and care is strongly advised.
