This stretch of the South Leinster Way provides glorious moorland views from the western side of Brandon Hill. Wild plateaus rise above patchwork farmland, a lovely sight when the conditions are right. The summit of Brandon Hill marks the highest point in County Kilkenny and the views from its flanks are extensive.
