Walking Through the Seasons

The Comeragh Mountains change beautifully throughout the year. Here's what to expect on the trails at different times.

Spring

March to May

Wildflowers bloom along the paths. Temperatures mild, around 8-12°C. Great for steady pacing without overheating. Streams are full but crossings are manageable.

Summer

June to August

Long daylight hours mean early morning starts or afternoon walks. Warmest season at 15-18°C. Paths are dry and easiest to navigate. Popular times, so go early for quiet walks.

Autumn

September to November

Golden light and fewer crowds. Temperature around 10-14°C. Paths can get wet and slippery from fallen leaves. Wear good grip boots. Visibility is excellent on clear days.

Winter

December to February

Colder at 3-8°C but frost makes paths crisp. Days are short, so stick to well-lit hours. Some higher paths may be closed. Lakeside routes stay open. Bring layers and a headlamp.

What Makes These Trails Different

Most upland walks aren't designed with older walkers in mind. These are different.
