Directions: From the car park, follow the purple arrows west towards Kilcrohane, turning right after 150m for Ahakista Church, and immediately left (sign for Glanlough). The walk climbs to bring you along the top of the ridge of the Sheep's Head Peninsula, before descending and circling Glanlough Lake. The trail then follows hill paths and minor roads back to Ahakista Bridge and the car park.
