Hiking
The magnificent and impressive Rock of Dunamese is a Celtic fortress built in the Anglo-Norman times to strengthen the defense of Dunamese Castle. Not only is the area infused with fascinating history, but there are fantastic views on offer across the valley of the O'Moores and surrounding countryside from this spot. A true hidden gem that should not be missed!
