Cnoc na dTobar guided walk, 690m, Good Friday, Friday, March 29th, 2024
Time:10:30, Meeting place the old Barracks, V23 VR62, Cahersiveen, registration and briefing
Walking at 11.00

Car pooling to the car park at Cnoc na dTobar after the briefing and registration

This annual pilgrimage is a unique opportunity to explore one of Ireland's most stunning landscapes while also connecting with your spirituality. The walk begins with a registration and safety briefing at 10.30 at The Old Barracks heritage centre, Cahersiveen where you will be provided with all the information you need to make the most of your journey.

The trail is moderate, covering a distance of 9km and taking approximately 5.5 hours to complete. As you ascend the mountain, you will be surrounded by stunning views of the Kerry mountains, Di**le Bay, Caherciveen, Valentia Island, Corrán Tuathail (Ireland's highest mountain) , The Blasket islands, Beara Pensuila, and the Skellig Rocks.

Make sure to come prepared with a walking stick, sturdy warm walking boots, rain gear, a packed lunch, and one litre of water. Dogs are not allowed on the trail.

Before you start your pilgrimage, take a moment to appreciate the history of Cnoc na dTobar. This sacred site was used for prehistoric and medieval assemblies, and it was an important site for the celebration of the harvest festival of Lughnasa. The mountain is also home to fourteen stations of the cross, built by Canon Brosnan in 1885.

At the base of the mountain, you can visit the well dedicated to St. Fursey or St. Fursa, a sixth-century saint known for his healing mineral properties, particularly for eye problems. At the summit, you will find Canon's Cross, which is not the true summit. Continue northwest straight over a turf expanse, and you will find a small cairn, which marks the true summit.

After completing the walk, light refreshments will be served at The Old Barracks heritage centre , where you can also obtain Pilgrim Stamps and purchase pilgrim passports.
