Hiking
Cool down with a saltwater swim after your hike. Knockomagh overlooks Lough Hyne, arguably the best open water swimming spot in Ireland.
There are normally loads of swimmers in the Lough and many swim there every day of the year.

Running
At 197m high, Knockomagh Hill overlooks Lough Hyne and the Atlantic Ocean. The view is a worthy reward for running up to the top. The trail up here takes you through lush green forest and around purple seas when the heather is out in the autumn. Take a moment to catch your breath at the top and drink it all in.
