||||||||
Details of the crag can be reviewed below. Editing links are present on all routes and inter-route notes |
||||||||
Directions: Can be accessed from Ballisodare and Collooney via forest tracks in Union Woods. Least complicated route is from the White Gates, near Union Foods (G692294). Follow track to "Crows Foot", a three way junction, and then take middle track. At the next junction take a right and head up hill on the track for about 900 metres. "Crag of Dan" appears first on left, which is now very overgrown. Union Wall is then 100 metres beyond this, also on the left OS Grid Reference: G682286 Click here to view location in Google Maps |
