This loop in a tranquil setting is a hidden gem, following forest tracks, riverbank and open country along the steep sided glen of the Glanageenty River through coniferous and broadleaf woodlands, passing the site of a Desmond Castle and providing a sanctuary and important corridor for wildlife. There are glorious vistas of Carrauntoohil, the Gap of Dunloe, Mount Brandon and Tralee Bay.
