HAZARDS & OPTIONS

Know the commitment.

Wet rock beside the cascade can be extremely slippery.
Fast or swollen water may make nearby ground more hazardous after rain.
The recorded start and finish are different, so transport must be arranged.
Woodland paths can become muddy, obscured or blocked after poor weather.

Conservative retreat guidance

Do not approach the cascade edge or attempt a water crossing when levels are high. If conditions deteriorate, return along the known route before committing to the point-to-point finish.

No line shown here should be treated as a guaranteed emergency escape route.

THE LINE

Water through the woods.

The recorded line moves through changing woodland and rougher open ground, with Cromaglan’s water providing the defining feature. The cascade, forest wildlife and older structures give this lower-level Killarney route a character distinct from the open mountain walks.

01Woodland openingThe recording begins at approximately 72 m and enters the wooded route.

02Cromaglan waterStreams and wet ground lead towards the route’s main cascade.

03Highest groundThe recorded track reaches approximately 258 m.

04Forest finishThe route continues through woodland to a separate endpoint at approximately 39 m.
