Kiltealy Ballycrystal Trail

This walk through forest in a valley under Mount Leinster, with its television transmitter on top, is divided in two by a minor road and takes the walker mostly on forest roadways.

Passing through this peaceful countryside, where the silence is broken only by the wind in the tree tops or the cries of animals and birds, you are offered a tranquil escape with restful breaks at bubbling streams, the chance to hear birdsong, see deer, rabbits, foxes and hares, while birds of prey hunt the valley, fragrant pine scents the air and foxgloves and many mountain grasses surround. A spur to a viewing point gives fine views towards the Blackstairs Mountains.
