Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This tour about was not as lovely as we expected, while it did offer some pretty views, it was not outstanding. There were lots of bikers enjoying the roads. Maybe we just didn't know where to go but was a bit disappointed, guess we should have done more research before we went to know what to see and do.

Our favourite walk in Ireland
Apr 2022 • Friends
We have walked the Glenbarrow route twice before but today took the longer red route - it was only breathtaking! The peaceful scenery is a hidden gem in the midlands. Much of the walk is on a boardwalk which really adds to the experience, following the Barrow upstream aswell as meandering out onto the hillside with a panoramic view of the midlands. To top the day off a deer crossed our path as we neared the finish.
Wear good walking shoes and bring some water & snacks (the blackberries are lovely for dessert if the time of year is right😊)

Giant grave loop, slieve blooms
Dec 2021 • Solo
This is a lovely walk. Very deserted. I didn't come across another single person. Sections are extremely muddy ( hey it's winter) so good waterproof hiking boots are an essential. I was slightly alarmed to come across cattle loose at one stage. The Riverside walk section is very pretty. New handrail being installed, appreciated it in the slippery conditions. I'm a weekend stroller and walk took me 3.5 hrs. Nice walk, I'll do it again in summer and hope for views. A lot of low cloud cover today. Came across cows again as final stretch takes you by farmyard (city girl....kinda terrified).

Climbed The Cut, Wolftrap and Glendine with road bike - really tough going especially Glendine. You will feel a sense of achievement when completed!

Hiking trails with superb scenery, wildlife and very few people.
Jun 2021 • Couples
Wonderful scenery and sense of remoteness in this wilderness. We walked the Slieve Bloom Way over 2 days and stayed at Giltraps pods in Kinnitty which worked out well. For a B&B option Ardmore House is a hidden gem just up the road.

Horrific

Too rocky. Too many tree stumps. Too much tree coverage (a.k.a no sun), walkways very easily allow for boyfriends to rugby tackle you to ground. Nice brownies in cafe though.

Too High

A bit high of a place this. Can’t understand why there is no lift. This mountain needs to be brought up to date badly. Screw Flanders
