Protected landscape
Plan time to explore it properly.
Bog, heath, woodland and quartzite mountains meet around the visitor area at Letterfrack, with routes ranging from short nature trails to the Diamond Hill circuit.
The park is best approached as a protected landscape rather than a single attraction. Routes, facilities and access arrangements vary across the site, while weather can change quickly in exposed mountain, coastal and bog environments. Review current official information before choosing a walk or arrival point.
