This is a challenging and beautiful loop following the Coumshingaun Lough Walk and stopping by Kilclooney Peak before coming back down in County Waterford. The trail begins on a slow incline for just a kilometre and then becomes very steep, the way down similarly follows a steep incline. There are quite a few rocky patches and hikers will have to scramble a bit. It’s best to attempt the route only if there is good visibility. The views throughout are fantastic, particularly at the top with Coumshingaun Lough below and the far reaching plains in the distance.
