Caherdaniel to Sneem

This is a quite pleasant walk along " green roads" , part of it being the Old Kenmare Road, with boggy pasture around and views south over the Kenmare River Bay towards Bantry.

Side option: Visit the Staigue Fort: This iron age fort lies 1km off the track in quiet countryside and should not be missed! The drystone walls are 30 mtrs in diameter, 4 mtrs thick and 5 mtrs high! An intriguing system of diagonal runs of steps is leading to the top of the wall.
