About the Maumturks Hike

Starting south of Lough Inagh Lodge we cross the Western Way and head up the An Log Bán following the river and its beautiful waterfalls.

After reaching a high cwm we strike right up to Cnoc na hUilleann (Knocknahillion), from here we follow an undulating ridge, taking in the magnificent panorama of mountains, to our high point at Letterbreckaun (667m).

The ridge then doglegs right and left before descending back into the valley. We return to our start point via the Western Way track.

Meeting point: Car park on R334 approx. 400 metres south of the Inagh Lodge hotel, at 10.30.

Return Time: Approx. 17.00

Terrain: Boggy path, rough and rocky mountainside and stone track.

Cost €30.00 per person

(Please note: to do this hike you must have good waterproof hiking footwear, and a waterproof jacket, warm clothing and warm hat and gloves. Without these items you will regrettably be excluded from participating. We have a limited supply of gear available to loan, but not boots. Please contact us.)
