HILL WALKING
Come and explore the beautiful surroundings of the Comeragh Mountains that were voted Best in Ireland by our dog Kevin! There's nothing he loves more than leading groups with any level of experience over the hills and far away. Walking trails and maps are available from the owner Niall at Reception who is also available as a walking consultant for those looking to learn a bit more about the area.
CYCLING
Cycling is a popular past-time of locals and the Powers the Pot ascent is a well known route among cyclists in Ireland. The 160km Sean Kelly Comeragh Challenge passes right by the campsite at the end of august each year with over 1600 participants speeding down our hill.
Why not join others and set up camp with us while enjoying the many cycling routes the area has to offer.
