Directions

Long Tail: This is a long trail with a mixture of lanes, forest tracks, quiet roads and open mountain. The climb up to the ‘cairn’ at the top of Mount Corrin will be worth the trek, with amazing views both inland and out to sea. The trail then passes the Dunbeacon Stone Circle and standing stones.

Short Trail: An alternative shorter walk (about 8km) for Mount Corrin (short cut on map) is to park at Barr a’ Bhealaigh Car Park, and follow the purple arrows around, until you see signs back to the car park. To get to Barr a’ Bhealaigh Car Park, follow the blue signs out on the Dunbeacon Road.

As usual each year, the Sheep’s Head Way is closed on 31 January, unless the expressed wishes of the Landowner states otherwise. This has become a customary practice which enables the landowner to grant permission for the public to access their land throughout the remaining year without risk of any public right of way being established. We hope you will respect this necessary inconvenience.
