This walk starts at Renvyle Hotel.
Leave Renvyle Hotel and turn right at the gate, after 400 metres turn left onto a side road by a grassy
patch (A). Stay on this road, ignoring a left turn after a few hundred metres and a narrower lane on the
right after a few hundred more. Stay heading south until nearly at the mountain. Near Tully Mountain a
road joins from the right about 2 miles (3km) out (B). Turn right onto this road, and you will now be
heading westward along a nice quiet valley with Tully Mountain on your left. Soon after, you descend to
a T-junction with a little bridge, keep left here, and go along a narrow little road with quite a few houses
(C).
When you come to the next T-junction with a stream coming down from the left, your route is right (north) towards the sea (D), but you can detour straight ahead (west) and return to this T-junction. The road heading north winds a few times taking you past the ruins of the church of the Seven Sisters and brings you to Renvyle Castle on your left, and you can look around here. The route back home is simply along by the sea and back to the gates of the Renvyle Hotel
