Description by the author

This walk of varied terrain takes you from the village of Ashford, rising quickly and steeply up the Cobs Road (an old Mass path). This leads into a forest area. As you walk along between the rows of sitka spruce, listen in summertime for the songs of the cuckoo and skylark. Watch out too for the hen harrier which is a protected species in this area. Visit Lough Ghé, (Lake of the Geese), a deep oligotrophic lake which is fringed with Bottle Sedge. Return by the same route to the trailhead in the village of Ashford.
