Activities
The Glen of Aherlow, Tipperary is a walkers paradise offering a variety of low level and mountain walks. Walking is now the most sought after activity for visitors to Ireland and what better way to enjoy the natural resources of mountains, rivers, lakes, forests and scenic landscape combined with fresh air and healthy exercise. All of these natural features are in abundance in the Glen of Aherlow, which makes it so attractive to walkers. Local routes are on Slievenamuck, through miles of forest tracks while the more adventurous walkers will be tempted by the Galtee range which provide the challenge required for today’s serious hillwalker and mountain climbers, past wooded foothills, mountain streams, corrie lakes and splendid sandstone peaks. The Galtees are Ireland’s highest inland mountain range, with a variety of peaks including Galtymore at 3,018 feet (919m). There are five corrie lakes on the range, accessible only by foot, to add to the attractiveness of the range. A variety of local mapped routes are available, including: Lake Muskry - Borheen Glencush - Galtymore Slievenamuck Darbys Bed - Galbally
The entrance to the park is adjacent to the Christ the King statue and parking/viewing area, and is marked by an oak panel on supporting posts. There is a map panel at start of walk showing route and features along the way. The Park begins with steps leading down to a wooden bridge crossing a small stream, and into the woods. The walk itself takes about 1 hour to complete, through 50 acres (18 hectares) of pure woodland. It is a circular trek and returns to the same point as it started. Walking through the woodland area, various trees and shrubs are identified by such as Oak, Scots Pine and Beech. Also, the woodland is the habitat of many animals and birds, such as fox, red and grey squirrels and blackbird.
