Carrigfadda Hill Walk
Introduction
Carrigfadda, with its 7 meter high Marian Cross on top is some 313 metres high. The views from the top, after the steep walk up, are awesome on a clear day. You are treated to magnificent vistas from the Old Head of Kinsale, Galley Head Lighthouse, Cape Clear, Mount Gabriel to Mushera mountain. It is also a wonderful spot for sunrise and sunset, but be mindful of having the right equipment for low light walking and it can get colder quickly after sunset. Carrigfadda has also played a strong role in the history, mythology and culture of the area and It is a local tradition to climb the hill during the Christmas Season.
