Walk through wild countryside to the 130m high Coomanassig waterfall and take a break by the dark waters of Eagle Lake. Marvel at the towering 260 metre corrie cliff faces. Explore this geological wonderland and the lower heights of the Dunkerron Mountains. Traverse the open moorland long ago smoothed by the deposits of ice age glaciers.

Possible encounters with sheep, hares, mountain goats, huge ravens and perhaps the white-tailed sea eagles.

Enjoy spectacular views to Sneem, Kenmare Bay and the Caha Mountains on the Beara Peninsula.

What To Expect

Sneem

We’ll meet at Álaind Lodges at 11 am before continuing by car to the start of the trail. Today’s walk brings us up close to the spectacular Dunkerron Mountains. Waterproof boots with good soles are required. We'll be ascending the stone path towards Knocknagantee mountain before branching off to find the beautiful Coomanassig waterfall and Eagles Lake. Along the way we’ll pick our way around the rocky outcrops which were left behind by ice age glaciers. We’ll walk right up to the waterfall and cliff walls by skirting around the edge of the dark water lake. Coomanassig waterfall is 130 metres tall and the cliffs themselves are 250 metres tall. We’ll spend about 30 mins here (weather depending), a good opportunity to enjoy any snacks/refreshment you bring.
