Caher Loop Directions & Map
Directions: From the Black Gate car park follow the green loop walk arrows in a north-easterly direction along the public road for a short distance. Turn left off the public road and continue up the track and on to the hill. This is a fabulous walk, past Cahir Lake, passing the Cillín at Caher, a famine graveyard en-route. The loop enters farmland and descends towards the sea at Trá Ruaim. After the pier, turn right uphill to the public road and turn right again to return back to The Black Gate.
