A Walk in the Wild of the Nagles Mts (Co Cork)

A Walk in the Wild of Nagles Mts Ah Yes, Come walk with me In the wilds of the Nagles Down the narrow pathways Or along the wide forest trails. Follow me to that Lonely mountain top, Over the rough stones And sodden tracks, Till you have reached That little known summit, Called Knocknaskagh. Then say a few prayers And join the devotions, At that hidden Massrock, Off the Glenville, Fermoy road. And finally, Walk that brief journey Up the holy Corrin Hill, And learn of Grand Cross there, And the story of its building...... Recommendations for Walking. Have strong shoes. There are few signs so remember where you go. Avoid areas where forest work is going on. It should take about 45 minutes to walk from the road to the summit of the mountain. Notes On a clear day there are spectacular views of the Galtees and Knockmealdowns Mts. The Mass Rock is just left off the Glenville to Fermoy road, keep a look out for the sign. Near the feast of the Assumption, there is a largish gathering here. Finally the tall cross of Corrin Hill, 30 foot high, was erected in 1933 to remember the death of Christ 1900 years ago. There are many stories about Corrin. Tony Kennedy 087 1259585 tonykk3@gmail.com
