Derrycunihy Nature Reserve – Kerry Way Trail

Highlight • Forest

Here you can walk for a very long time without any noise (except the wind ;-) Again and again a wide view of the mountains and then again soothing forest.

Derrycunihy Nature Reserve Forest

Highlight • Forest

This hiking trail is really wonderful. Not strenuous, but very varied - easy up and down, small streams, ancient trees and just a great atmosphere - so I wouldn't be surprised if a few fairies don't live here too! ;-)

View of the Upper Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

From the path on the shores of Upper Lake, you have beautiful views of the rocky summit of Purple Mountain. The path is well developed and not too muddy even in rainy weather.
