We are the Cheshire Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is the first of our three walks for the Ireland Trip in September. It's a relatively short walk, designed to get us all loosened up ready for the main ascent at Carrauntoohil the following day. This first walk is challenging enough though, walking into a glen, crossing a river and ascending up to a corrie lake. The summit is Knocknapeasta through some boulders. There are nice views from the top down to Black Valley and across to Carrauntoohil.
This walk is only open to members who are taking part in the Cheshire Walkers Group weekend away in Eire.
This is a circular walk starting from Cronin's Yard. We are doing the shorter and easier 4 hr 9Km walk with an ascent of 840m
From Killarney: Take the N72 (Ring of Kerry road) towards Killorglin. After Fossa Village, turn left for the Gap of Dunloe. Continue on this road for approximately 8km until you come to Kissane’s Shop and Maxol Service Station. Go over a small bridge and take the next left (signposted for Cronin’s Yard and Tea Room, Carrauntoohil). Proceed to the end of this road, approximately 3km to Cronin’s Yard.
