Borris, Co. Carlow

This scenic walk begins at Drummond, at the southern end of the Blackstairs range, and heads northwards along the rugged ridges, taking in the distinctive landscape of the southern Blackstairs.

The route passes through the dramatic Carrigalachan Gap, a natural mountain pass that in times gone by was a meeting point for people from Wexford and Carlow. From here, walkers descend through open slopes and woodland paths to Knockmulgurry, near the village of Ballymurphy.

Suitable for experienced hill walkers it includes:

Experienced members from Tullow Mountaineering Club leading the walk

Bus transport to/from the start/finish of each walk

Soup, sandwiches, tea and coffee after your walk
