Directions
From the car park, follow the purple arrows west towards Kilcrohane, turning right after 150m for Ahakista Church, & immediately left (sign for Glanlough). This loop follows minor roadways, laneways and mountain paths as it climbs to bring you along the top of the ridge of the Sheep’s Head Peninsula, before descending and circling Glanlough Lake on the way. Spectacular mountain, coastal and sea views abound on all sides. When you reach way marker 462 turn left onto the road which will take you back to a T-junction, turn right here & walk back to Ahakista Bridge and Trailhead.
