Our family of 4 started our Mount Brandon hike from the Baile Breac car park on a rainy day in July 2019. I'll say right away, that we did not reach the summit. I was disappointed, but I didn't want to push my family on if they were not feeling the hike that day. This was our 7th day in Ireland, with everyday being almost constant rain, and our 5th hike. We had hiked a little over an hour, had passed several crosses, when someone suggested maybe we had gone far enough. Knowing the best thing to do, always, is to not be control, I agreed with the decision to turn around. I've got to say though, the summit of Mount Brandon is still calling to me. :) Nevertheless, this is a beautiful hike through sheep fields, sometimes seemingly straight up vertically, with amazing views of the coastline. It was a cloudy day, so our views were constantly changing with the passing clouds and fleeting rays of sunlight. A magical pilgrimage trail, worth everyone's visit, no matter how far up you hike.

Just gorgeous. We added it to Google maps, so it should be easier to find! Ignore the towers (radio?) and enjoy the view...and the sheep.

just returned from a fabulous drive in my olde sports car through the stunning mountain pass,nothing but a couple of sheep on this winding narrow track which meanders towards the clouds. I was taken back by the sheer natural beauty of this idyllic part of west Cork and Kerry, looking forward to visit there again in the near future..........busaman.

We followed the red arrows 5.5 km walk. Stunning views of the mountain and Donegal bay. There is a sign about 3km in to the carpark we went by this and kept to the red arrows and went through a lovely winding area with lovely trees and views very nice walk.
