Hillwalking in cork

The Davestator

Going to cork this weekend and wanted to do some hillwalking within easy reach of the city. Can anybody direct me to a web site / previous thread?

thanks

What's easy reach? Walking distance, or within public transport range, or you driving?

sorry, I'm driving so anywhere within an hours drive i suppose.

Can't give too many pointers myself, got these suggestions from a Corkonian.

Try www.discoverireland.ie/walking or anywhere around Gougane Barra Forest Park - http://www.discoverireland.ie/DI/resultsengine/IndividualResultTCS.aspx?touristItemID=44713.
The forecast is looking great.

Galtymore is only 30 minutes away from the Dunkettle roundabout now (Edge of cork city). I've timed it.

Motorway all the way. Turn off the motorway at Junction 12 and head into Kilbeheny and then on to Skehennarinky. In Skeheenarinky there is a turn off here for a climb of Galltymore.

There is a good path up to the base of galtybeag (called the black road), from here you can cut across and climb Galtymore.

Cheers everyone - going to go up galtymore, looks lovely. (i had to tell herself there's a shop at the summit but ah well)!
