Beentee Mountain Loop

The Beentee Mountain Loop - Forest, Farmland & Hillside. Cahersiveen is on the N70 Ring of Kerry road between Killorglin and Waterville. In Cahersiveen, the trailhead is located at a car park known locally as The Fairgreen – behind the Londis petrol station and beside the Garda station. A steep climb to the summit of Beentee Mountain provides panoramic views of Cahersiveen, the birthplace of Daniel O'Connell the 'Liberator'. Sigerson Cliffords song ‘The Boys of Barr na Sraide’ describes Cahersiveen as “the town that climbs the mountain and looks upon the sea”. Cahersiveen lies on The Fertha River, overlooking Valentia Harbour. It is the main centre for the western end of the Ring of Kerry and is an ideal location for exploring the rugged coast of the southwest of Ireland.
