Sheep's Head - 4 hour hiking loop recommendation?

BailMeOut · 21-08-2018 1:09pm #1

Going to Sheep's head this weekend to do a bit of hiking. Need to start and end at same place and the loop needs to be a good 4 to 5 hours. Do not want to wing it as the hike could end up being too short of too long.

Anyone know Sheep's head and where would you suggest we start/end?

This loop would be perfect. We did it a couple of years ago and it is stunning.

Thanks all, the Poet's Trail was perfect. Started at the Cafe at 9am and the 4.25 hour hike was spectacular and would highly recommend. Weather was also perfect.
