Kilbride hiking routes

HerrKapitan · 2023-03-30 19:19:49

Now that the Kilbride army camp is open to the public, can anyone recommend a hiking route between Seefingan and Seahan that takes in the old army range. Would be great to see this part of Ireland finally.

Looks like it's now been used to house asylum seekers

I was there a couple of days ago, drove past the entrance for a quick hike up Seehan, but wasn't aware of this, so didn't pay attention to the camp.

Yes, I knew the camp is now being used to house asylum seekers, but I wouldn't think that necessarily means anybody can just stroll in and walk through it.
