Glanageenty Loop
Annual Closure Notice:
Some of the property traversed by the Glanageenty Loops is private property. Access is available by kind permission of all the landowners/holders on the route. It is understood that persons entering do so by permission with the consent of the landowner and no matter how often they enter, or in what numbers, they do not do so as of right. As further evidence of the permissive nature of the access, the route will be closed for one day on the 30th November each year in agreement with the landowners. Nothing in this notice shall impact or address any pre-existing public rights of way.
This loop has a peaceful and tranquil setting where birdlife abounds. It follows forest tracks, riverbank and open country along the Glanageenty River and through woodlands, passing the site of a Desmond Castle. There are glorious vistas of Carrauntoohil, the Gap of Dunloe and Mount Brandon.

A true hidden treasure. Plenty of Picnic tables, seats, etc. Well done to all the locals involved.
