About This Spot

Note: Launching a glider ('Flying from') the Killarney National Park is not permitted by the rules of the park.... however this does not exclude flying above the park.

Talk off area is a clear field, at the far end of the Tomies Wood walking track.
(there is a long 1 hour walk (4km) from the car to the take off area, along a well maintained off road track.
The take off looks out over Lough Leane to the North and East

You might avoid bottom landing in the Lake... danger of death.

Take off from the park lands is forbidden.
(if you choose to ignore this then be discreet).
The shown landing area is the car parking area.

Takeoff altitude: 187m

Access Notes

From Killarney go to Tomies Wood (near the Gap of Dunloe). drive as far as possible towards Tomies Wood, park your car and walk through the farmyard. The first house belongs to the local landowner, Mr. Tim Fleming, a very nice man. If you see him you might tell him your intentions and to ask for his permission. Walk from here to the take off area at the far end of Tomies Wood via the 'lower road'. You will have to walk until you are well out of the wood. The track through an ancient Oak forest is a Loop, and it is the same distance which ever way you go.
