Walk information
This is a short but strenuous walk around Lardon Chase and Lough Down. There is plenty of climbing involved, so take lots of energy, but you will be rewarded with some lovely views at the top.
Walk information
This second walk is an extended version of the first route that still enjoys the strenuous walk and rewarding views of the Lough Down, but also then heads for an extra adventure deep into the hilly woodland area to the south of Streatley. There are some steep ascents on this walk.
