What travelers are saying
- Gerard BNewbridge, Ireland926 contributionsI took this drive during the week. It is truly a stunning drive, one that does Ireland proud. The road I took ( from Roundwood to Manor Kilbride is very narrow in places so one should drive with caution. Also in winter please heed the warning signs about frost & snow.
There are plenty of spots to pull off the road to absorb the scenery. But some people must heed warning signs. I was up near the Guinness Lake where there was a walker walking past signs warning about unstable ground. There was a ranger up there who stopped the person.
There are plenty of stunning sites up there without disobeying the warning signs.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mr DAshford, Ireland1 contributionMagnificent tranquil spot with an array of plants, trees, shrubs and beautifully kept. This is a lovely spot to just chill. Went with the children and they ran around and were tired after their visit. Recommended for families a little tip, bring a picnicWritten December 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dolittle Roadmapz54 contributionsThis for all its beauty could be missed coming from the motorway.
You turn at Jack Whites restaurant, and basically drive a straight road to smaller coastal road.
There’s a car park, unsure if you pay or not ( maybe at high season).
We didn’t have to.
It’s a short walk through sand dunes to an absolutely magnificent beach.
Again in winter this is blissful solitude , I have no doubt would be packed in summer months.
It must be a couple of kilometres long and is hidden from the hurly burly of road noise by the dunes.Written December 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Plenty of car park spaces though you will have to pay but be aware they fill up quickly as it's a popular spot.
The hotel is a lovely place if you fancy something to eat. Or you can eat up beside the upper lake as well
This time of the year the colours are amazing throughout the landscape. A variety of walks are available around the lakes or be more adventurous and go up over the mountains to the spinc trail and beyond.Written December 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Went there on a weekday, so easy to find parking stop, have to maneuver 3-point turn- as we passed the best viewing point. Drive slow, even if it says 80kph.
It's called Lough Tay - Lough Te - Lake Tea because it's colored like a Tea rather than a glass of Guinness.

Nothing much to do other than appreciating the panoramic views and taking lots of photographs, which was well worth the stop. There was an information board which outlined the castle's history and construction. Local legend has it that St. Patrick landed on the beach when he initially arrived in Ireland.Written June 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul M4 contributionsDrove an hour from our hotel in Glen of the Downs to the easiest route starting point at Fenton's pub. 11am on a Monday when we arrived in beautiful sunshine only to be told by soldiers that the mountain was off limits all week due to war games. Bored soldier said he had just chased a couple who had driven from Co Mayo to climb and that we all should phone ahead. He gave us an Oglaigh na hEireann ordnance map and pointed out a smaller mtn nearby that was a good climb. He also checked the next few weeks firing schedule but returned to say it hadn't been updated yet. He emphasised that there was no other access to the top of Lugnaquilla that week.
Undettered and helped by his free map we drove to Glenmalure and Baravore carpark. There was no mobile signal there and NO indication of where or how to climb Lug. It wasn't mentioned on any of the information maps or tourist signs posted in the carpark.
Got talking to a lad who arrived just after us and who had also met the welcome party at the army office near Fentons! He had driven down from Belfast and like us was determined to get to the top. He had watched a YouTube clip of the climb from Baravore so we set off together.
I would higjly recommend the climb from here for the scenery and views. It turned out fairly straightforward to follow the trail up. However we were fortunate with the weather and that the previous week had been dry so all the marshy areas were not too bad.
No sign of the Irish Army at the top but they were making plenty of noise below on the other side.
On the descent met a young woman from Wales who had the Fentons experience too although it seems they had been rude to her. She had then taken a wrong turn on the climb up from Baravore carpark and with time constraints had sacked it.
Overall it took us 4 and a half hours with 10 or 15 mins spent at the top.Written March 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
