    Is this area accessible to the public? I was of a mind to go up there during the week coming to take some photos.

    Although not encouraged, the area is open to the public. It can be accessed via an unpaved road which starts at grid reference M623053 (OSI Discovery map 52) and continues west for about 2km. This road is narrow and uneven so drive slowly and carefully. There is no visitor center, shops or WCs in the area so come prepared and bring your litter home.

    Awesome, thank you for that. I will be on foot out of Loughrea (I need the exercise), so the condition of the road shouldn't be a concern.

    I've been up a good few times, they are a pretty strange sight up there. Cool part of the county though, anyone familiar with Lough Belsrah up around there, rumored to be haunted?
