Directions
From the Car Park at Boolteenagh: Follow the orange arrows and set out along the ridge with fantastic views over Bantry Bay and Dunmanus Bay. At way marker (WM) no. 49 you will see “Lough Na Fuilla” (Lake of the Blood) straight ahead of you. Cross the stile here and turn left at WM 20 CM. Follow the track (The old lake road) south to a tar road. Continue straight on at WM 16 CM (past the junction for Fahane & Gearhies) until you reach a finger post sign for “Coomkeen”. Turn left here and walk along the road, following the finger post signs for Coomkeen at each cross back to the car park at Boolteenagh along the road, passing the turn off for “Durrus Cheese”.
To drive to the car park from Durrus village: Take the road to Kilcrohane, and after St. James’ Church take the 1st right, continue to a cross roads, and take the option for Coomkeen (straight on) – this road will take you to Boolteenagh. Please be considerate where you park, and don’t block farm access.
