Derrynane Mass Path Loop - 'Timeless Walk through Our Liberators Shores' This walk over the hillside and shoreline and through the grounds of Our Liberator, Daniel O’Connell’s home, tells the history of our people in a time when Catholics were banned from celebrating Mass. The people of Caherdaniel parish living in Farraniaragh, Coomatlauckane, and the islands of Scariff & Deenish (who rowed in by Curragh to Beal-tra-pier) walked this Mass Path during the Penal Times (in the 17th Century) to attend Mass at the Mass Rock which you will visit on your walk. It is fitting indeed, that Daniel O’Connell, one of Europe’s greatest Statesmen, led the Irish people and achieved Catholic Emancipation for our country and that during this walk you will visit his home, the Gardens & Derrynane National Park which his family left to the State

Walking through this beautiful wilderness countryside you will discover the uniqueness of the area, bring your camera and photograph some of the most beautiful views in Ireland whether it's hill walking or a walking tour of the forests and mountains, beach walks or Derrynane National Park and other historic sites - you will be the envy of your friends when they see your landscapes, seascapes, flora and fauna photos.
