Tinnahinch/Capard Walk

The Ridge of Capard offers a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. At almost 500m above the surrounding flat countryside, the wild windswept ridge is home to a vast array of wild plant and animal life and it is possible to see well into the counties surrounding Laois. On a clear day the Wicklow Mountains are visible to the east. Also on the ridge is an ancient stone cairn known locally as ‘The Stony Man” which was built during the time that quarrying was carried out in the area.
