Hiking

While others hike the Gap of Dunloe, try instead the climb to the summit of Strickeen Mountain (440m). At the top you are rewarded with stunning views of Hag's Glen and the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, but only after the sweeping vistas of Lough Leane, Killorglin and the Slieve Mish Mountains on the way up.

Running

A much quieter option than the Gap of Dunloe, running to the summit of Strickeen Mountain (440m) rewards you with stunning views of Hag's Glen and the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks. On the way up you're accompanied by sweeping vistas of Lough Leane, Killorglin and the Slieve Mish Mountains. It's hard to find a run location with better surroundings than this.
