Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Did a morning hike here, was a fresh gorgeous day. Stunning scenery, a panorama of Irish countryside! Watch out for the sheep poop inside. The hike isnt bad. I expected it to be a lot longer. Was a quick 10-15 minutes up the hillside. It is though. Sept 10, 2024. Visited last week . Nice carpark. but short up to the caves. Amazing views. The smell of the sheep urine/poo was quite overpowering on approach as they must be in the first quite a bit. Saw a few in the first one. In total we went into 12-15 around the hill. No entry or parking fee is required. The are located on private property of a working farm but are accessible to the public. No dogs allowed. Since it is a working farm, be sure to wear proper footwear as there are a lot of sheep doing their business along the trail. A climb at times but not difficult. If it has rained recently, caution loose and slippery ground, spikes, or walking poles may be beneficial. Caves extend deep. If you are looking to explore into them, bring a flashlight and a good jacket. Great from the top Choose a good day Walk in places and can be quite slippy Probably 20min climb 15mins at the top No dogs notice said they will be shot so don't risk it Parking at the bottom of the walk Worth a visit Absolutely surreal experience + 10/10 recommendation, and something that’s FREE!!!Came here during my trip here in Ireland and wasn’t even planning to stop—someone mentioned “caves on a hill” and I thought it was going to be some basic trail with a rock and a sign. Nope. It ended up being one of the most beautiful and peaceful spots I’ve seen on the whole trip. We parked right by this long green stretch, thinking we’d just for 5-10 minutes. The up the hill starts off innocent, but it’ll humble you fast—especially if you’re wearing the wrong shoes (like I was). But once you start climbing and look behind you? Man, the start hitting. You see miles of classic Irish countryside—rolling hills, scattered cottages, and that kind of deep green that doesn’t exist anywhere else. About halfway up we ran into some blue-marked sheep, which looked like they had just stepped out of a fairy tale. They couldn’t care less that we were there. Then came the cows along the wire fence, munching like they were living their best life. The whole thing felt so untouched and raw. But the real magic hit when we got to the caves. Once you’re inside and turn around, that opening frames the view like a painting. You can see the valley stretch for miles, little lakes in the distance, and the sky mixing grey and blue in a way that makes you forget time. Even the kids in our group got quiet for a second, which honestly never happens. Definitely a hidden gem. If you’re in Ireland and want something that feels like you’re walking through a movie set but without the big tourist crowds, this is it. And bring a snack—because trust me, you’ll want to sit somewhere at the top and just take it all in. The Keash, or Keshcorran Caves, require a short hike to reach. There’s a small parking area at the trailhead. For regular hikers, the route is fairly easy and can be completed in about 20 minutes. For us, since we don’t hike often, it felt moderately challenging and took around 40 minutes round trip, including breaks to catch our breath and take photos. The at the top are absolutely worth the effort. The sit in a row along the hillside. To explore beyond the first one, you can follow a narrow path that connects them. However, caution is needed—the trail is and there are no barriers along the edge. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Interesting to experience. Great of our 40 shades of green. Very short with a start if you aren't a regular hill walker but it's doable with a bench for a rest for those needing it. Be careful, narrow path . Stunning place to visit. Its only a short to the from the car park (about 20 mins). There is a pathway leading up Keshcorran Hill to the that has quite a section so be prepared, but take it slow and stop and enjoy the amazing ❤️ The are fab and worth the ❤️ It is a gorgeous especially on a sunny day but be prepared because the hill up to the is quite steep, the themselves are so cool and there's many of them to check out and the view is stunning from the top 😍 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
