Fastnet Trails - Knockaphuca Loop

This trail goes from sea level to the 237m summit of Knockaphuca, with its Holy Year cross on top (lit up at night), on road, track, grassy track and open mountain, passing between rocky outcrops and becoming steeper as you ascend. Views are stunning from most of the trail and particularly from the summit with a 360 degree spread including the Mizen Peninsula stretched out below, the Sheep's Head Peninsula, Cape Clear and Sherkin Islands, Roaring Water Bay and Fastnet Rock.
