Tomies Wood
Fossa
About
This casual six mile (nine kilometre) walk follows an old looped road and is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It takes approximately three hours to complete. The path skirts along the foot of Tomies Mountain, home to Fionn MacCumhal, legendary Chieftain of the Fianna. As you travel through oak woods, you are afforded views of Lough Leane below. One stream crossing is made over stepping stones, but a footbridge carries you over the top of O'Sullivan's Cascade. Just outside of Fossa, take the left turn for the Gap of Dunloe. Follow this road for one and a half miles (two and a half kilometres) and take a left.
