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.

we took a nice late evening walk around the gearagh nature reserve and with the late summer sun on the water ,the birds in full song and the a cool breeze blowing through the multitude of high grasses and reeds it was the perfect way to relax for the evening .. you need a decent pair of walking boots or shoes as the well worn pathways can be a little uneven in places but the sceanary makes up for any little difficulties on the pathway . it is also ell worth taking a good camera with you as you never know what might be around the next corner . give yourself a good couple of hours to see the best of this wonderful place .

Macroom a hub for shopping, tourist information, general good vibe and a beautiful lake that we passed numerous times, too and from County Kerry and exploring County Cork.
A peaceful stopping point, a point to stretch the legs and view this beautiful lake and surrounding countryside.

I'm probably going to short sell this because we did not have access to the historical buildup or significance of the area. Nonetheless, it's a pond and the drive to get to it was hardly worth the scenery alone. Before cutting it off the list it would be best to learn more about it from other sources.

We strolled throgh the Gearagh one evening recently. The reservoirs are very low now after the long dry summer so we could see many of the twisting streams making up the delta. This is a magical other worldly ever changing special place to take time out and relax.

If you want some time in an amazingly beautiful place this is the place to see, with amazing walks with amazing views this is the place to see. This is one of my favourite places to visit when I just need to chill out and relax. Beautiful scenery and loads of little nooks and crannies. Don't just stay on the main walkway as some of the most beautiful spots are hidden away..........you just need to find them.
