Mount Nebo Trail

This walk brings you on a woodland trail winding uphill to a Fairy Wood (also your descent) which leads onto the higher part of the walk on open forest road circling around the upper slopes of Mount Nebo and Slievebaun. This part of the walk passes an old moated site – said to date from Norman settlement times – and you have the opportunity to rest on benches at four locations.

Flora includes the yellow and purple mixture of gorse and heather. The area has historical links to the Irish republican women’s paramilitary organisation, Cumann na mBan. You are treated to scenic views across the surrounding countryside, particularly on the descent.
