Overview

Starting from Glen Sherup car park we cross over to the River Devon and follow a path alongside the river past the Frandy Fish Farm. The path then climbs up towards Ben Shee, which we pass on our way back down towards the dam wall of the Glensherup Reservoir and back towards the car park. 

The walk is on fair/good paths but wet in places; expect some climbing to reach the ridge from the River Devon.
