🇮🇪 Irelands Best Hike? Cumeengeera Horseshoe | Ireland

An amazing hike around the spectacular Cumeengeera Horseshoe in the Beara Peninsula, Ireland. Overlooking the Rabachs Way Glen.
Simply Stunning....
...
IMPORTANT
It is a walk only for experienced hillwalkers due to the conditions, exposure and navigation challenges.
Please do not use my video as a guide.. Do your own research please...
At the 13 minute mark I got the Mountain names incorrect. Lackabane is the peak to the right of the tag, and Curraghreague should be where Lackabane is. Sorry for that mistake.
Note: there is a €4 per adult charge where I parked,€2 per child.
I has great weather this day, but even picking your way thru some of the peaks was tough.

At the end of this video when you're down in the valley there's an old ruin of a house and outhouse in the background over your shoulder, this is where my dad was born in 1923 ,sacred ground to me ,thanks for posting, greetings from Florida.

[@eddieforde]

Wow, that’s amazing to hear. I often wonder about the places I hike to, but to hear a story like this just totally adds a whole other level to it. Thanks for sharing and glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🏻Ed

[@gregorymclaughlin6206]

I am planning a trip down to Kerry next year. A good reason to watch Eddie's travelogue and ask questions,

[@gregorymclaughlin6206]

Absolutely beautiful, Eddie. Almost as beautiful as Donegal. And that is very, very beautiful! :D

[@eddieforde]

But Donegal is so very, very far away… 🤣. Thanks Gregory 👍

[@gregorymclaughlin6206]

OK...jusrt watching this stunning video makes me think Michael Ó Muircheartaigh...."Ahhh...Donegal thought they had the edge but Kerry take the three points in a might flash!! It's all the green and gold friom here!"

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Gregory, yea, there’s a lot going on in Kerry between the 3 peninsula’s. And I’ve only scratched the surface.

[@margaretdownes4172]

Awesome. What a beautiful way to spend weekend & holidays. Amazing, thank you for sharing our beautiful Ireland with me.

[@eddieforde]

Glad you enjoyed it. thanks Margaret

[@ervinslens]

Those views are simply breathtaking, enjoyed every moment of it my friend! You created gorgeous upload here. 🔥🔥

[@eddieforde]

Thanks very much Ervin, really appreciate the nice comment. It's a stunning spot alright. Ed

[@hikesome]

What a majestic scenery and a wonderful hiking adventure. I only have been to Ireland once but have never seen beauty like this. Great video Eddie!

[@eddieforde]

Hi Mario. I've been here my whole life and never knew there was scenery like this here... Thanks for the nice comment :D , Ed

[@rajmoran]

After watching this, my wife and I are planning to take this walk this summer. We'll be walking the Beara way for the second time, so we'll just modify the day from Eyeries to Lauragh (weather dependent, of course). Thanks for the video, Eddie. Great work, as usual.

[@eddieforde]

Thanks very much Randy. if heading up the mountains it’s definitely a walk for a clear day. Going from Eskatarriff to Tooth i found very hard going, I used a gpx track I got from www.MountainViews.ie, and even then it was tough. But as it’s your second time heading around there you know well what the terrain is like. Have a fantastic time and hopefully the weather is kind. ☀️ 💨

[@rajmoran]

@@eddieforde Well, the weather didn't cooperate on the day, but we took the Rabhach's Glen walk instead. It was just the two of us, we had the valley to ourselves. The scenery was incredible and the walk was well worth the time. Get back there if you can, Eddie! I'd love to see your video of it.

[@eddieforde]

Hi Randy, yea, it’s not been a great summer with the weather, a few nice spells, but overall poor enough. As you say it’s a stunning location alright and a place I’ll definitely visit in the future, but with so many other places I’ve yet to get to it could be a while yet. The good thing is it’s going nowhere. Delighted you had a good trip and thanks for following up and letting me know 👍😉

[@brendanlynch7296]

Very nice video, really enjoyed your relaxed style, and those big views of the south west were stunning. I hiked the circuit a couple of times years ago, will definitely have to head back down that way. If you are heading back there the famine village in the valley is well worth visiting, a beautiful location, even if it has a sad history.

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Brendan, it must be great to have it done a few times, you can really appreciate it all. Being my first time here there was a lot to take in between the scenery and the hike itself. I’ll definitely head back, it’s a great loop. Ed

[@daveedmunds137]

Some spectacular views and right on our doorstep , def on the list for the summer

[@eddieforde]

It’s pretty great alright Dave isn’t it. Like you say, it’s just outside. 👍🏻

[@jbairdexp]

That was brilliant Eddie....what a day to be in the hills! 🙂

[@eddieforde]

thanks Julian, been a while waiting for weather like this and it sure didn't disappoint.. Ed

[@totalwalker]

Impressive 👏! You have such a unique perspective in your videos, keep up the great work.

[@eddieforde]

Hi TotalWalker, thanks very much, your Winter videos are making me want to go skiing again :D . Ed

[@stereojam77]

Those views are stunning ed. Great job on the video.

[@eddieforde]

Thanks James, yea, the views from up there were pretty amazing alright. Getting the fine weather helped, when I say fine, the 2nd half was still Baltic, but it’s all relative 🥶

[@andrewonmyway8184]

What an amazing place. I can imagine the walk was tougher than it looks. Thanks for taking us there. Fantastic camera and sound you have😊

[@eddieforde]

Hi Andrew, I had great weather for it, makes everything look fantastic. The sound was a real pain for me for a while with the wind noise, which as you can tell, is in nearly all the vids. It was definitely worth getting the new mics, thanks for noticing :)

[@richardcondon8598]

Super video lovely day for it!

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Rich, it sure was

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

I was wondering how you would navigate that for sure !1 stunning spot alright , telephoto heaven fair play Eddie .. where were the shots?

[@eddieforde]

It's a good hike for sure. still a bit stiff after it tbh. The shots, yea, don't know why I didn't add any. Would you believe the best shots I got were on the way home looking back at it. Like yourself ,, you can check it out on my blog, link in description :p

[@aidankelleher4305]

Super video ❤

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Aidan, it’s a great hike. 👍🏻🥾

[@rossfehily5354]

Brilliant hike and really want to do this one in summer! Well done on another great video! Is the land owner still charging €5 per person for parking lol. Keep up the great videos

[@eddieforde]

Hi Ross, yea, it’s a great hike alright, I had hoped to do it again this summer when everything was green but it just didn’t happen, next year hopefully. And yep, €4 for adult, €2 for kids is what I was told. Thanks again. 👍🏻

[@rossfehily5354]

@@eddieforde cheers Eddie, it's on my list as well for summer 2024! Might see you there lol. Best Regards

[@katarzynafilipiak7870]

Such a great video! Well done especially it was challenging as you said 😊 Can you let me know how long the whole hime took you?

[@eddieforde]

thanks Katarzyna, I found it tough but well worth it. looking back it took me around 8 hours, that's with a lot of stopping for photos and video, I ended up with a lot more video I didn't include. The navigation on the 2nd part was tricky so be sure and have a route prepared for it. I used the Adrian Hendroff guide for the Beara peninsula and it helped a lot. Hope you get a great day for it :D , Ed

[@LORiain]

Thanks Eddie, great video. did this Friday and camped just below Tooth. You’re right , it’s a serious hike 😂 - I was glad for the overnight with the break but the views are just unbelievable. Wouldn’t be doing this unless weather was really good as it is at the moment.

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Liam, yea, it’s a stunning spot alright, I think we’re all camping out at the moment with the weather. We’ve been a long time waiting for it 😬

[@gregorymclaughlin6206]

excuse the typos Eddie
