WALKING TRAIL
Mount Brandon from Teer via Más an Tiompáin
Start / Finish: Teer car park
Route: The walk begins at Teer car park. Follow the unpaved road and The Dingle Way signs into Arraglen. Here you will see the remains of an old deserted village. One hut is still in use, it has a green roof on it and can be used for shelter. From the hut follow the stone path to your left and the Dingle way signs up to the top of the stepped steep climb, where the ground levels out at a saddle in the hills. You will see to the right the short steep slope of Más an Tiompáin. On your left, you will see an ogham stone. At the ogham stone, you turn left and follow the ridge. Ahead of you will see two small hillocks Piaras Béag and Piaras Mór, pass below them and keep following the ridge until you come to the top of the Esk. From here it is only a fifteen-minute walk to the summit of Mount Brandon.
