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.

    Visited on a very misty day but great walk very well signed posted with yellow posts give a true feel of being on the mountains. Great views even through the rolling mist.
    Just a observation the day we went and we're half way up to the top there was a bull in a field but no gate . Four bullocks with him. They seemed completely calm and indifferent to us but I was glad we were on a loop walk. He did watch us as we passed.

    This place is easy to find and easy to access. There isn't a lot of information about the site but it's an interesting place and enormously photogenic.

    Great trail. Some parts of the southern section can be really challenging. I used an app called Hiiker to do it, which was pretty much a 100% necessity as some sections there is little or no signage and it can get a bit confusing. The book is also good.

    I camped a lot of the Way by asking permission of farmers (mostly 😅). I think you need a top-notch tent to do it. I have a Zpacks Duplex tent, and you need that level and quality of waterproofing. I had a groundsheet as well that was a necessity. I used a combination of gators and trail runners, but I was happy enough to get my feet wet in places. I feel like I got pretty lucky with the weather for the most part but equally, I experience the 4-seasons in a day weather the odd time!

    Easy to find and navigate. A bit of a scramble to get to the top of the circle. Tough on a rainy day but great way to feel 1000 years ago.

    Disappointed that they were closed. Could have used some important route information. Got help from local merchants.

    Had a great curry one lunchtime in MacCarthy's Bar, which was very busy when we popped in during our drive around the Ring of Beara : the menu was fairly small but would recommend stopping in Castletownbere for lunch or even just a scone (biscuit) here.

    From start to finish it was an extraordinary experience - this was a world renowned pianist at home performing magnificently in the wonderful ambience of his sitting room, on a grand piano. He was accompanied by a Welsh tenor and delicious food was served at the interval by his partner, Suzanne.
