Blarney - Waterloo - Blarney Looped Walk

The Blarney - Waterloo - Blarney Looped Walk I enjoyed this very pleasant walk recently. I think it took us a few minutes over an hour, but there were some stops for photos. Of course, you can turn around at many points and come back if you want a shorter walk. It is easy enough as it is mostly on the flat and the paths are good.

You’ll go past the former Harbour Point Golf Club and come to a playground and car park. If you have a dog, keep him on a lead as this is a conservation area. Good solid pathway From the
