Corrin Hill Loop + Detour to Cross

Corrin Hill Loop + Detour to Cross

11.03.2023 (showery, cloudy)

Corrin Hill is between Rathcormac and Fermoy, just off the R639, to your left. Once you pass the large Cork Marts complex roundabout, watch out for signs for the golf club and Coillte. Free to enter and there is a carpark. Once you make the signed detour to the summit, you have a 360 degree view (short video at end) of the surrounding countryside, including the town of Fermoy. Allow about 80 minutes to do the loop and the detour.

In the cocoon: replacements

Aside from a robin greeting us at the entrance to the wood, we didn't
see or hear another bird during the one hour walk. No rabbits either,
none of the usual signs. Beginning to think there was no wildlife
here at all when, all of a sudden, three deer briefly appeared on the track.
about 300 yards ahead, too far away to get a decent photo, and they
didn't hang around in any case!

Never very much colour in this wood. These "Foxgloves" are nearing the end of their display

Cuckoo Spit. That was our name (last century!) for this foamy stuff
