Knockalough is a hill and surrounding area near Upperchurch, County Tipperary, known primarily for its historical link to the Irish Confederate Wars of the 17th century. The mountain area is strongly associated with Red Hugh O'Donnell, the last Chieftain of Tír Chonaill, who led his army south in 1601 along a path that runs up and around the hill in a desperate march to the Battle of Kinsale. The local Knockalough Loop trails allow hikers to retrace a portion of this famous, grueling march, linking the area directly to a major turning point in Irish history.
