Lissycasey is on the main N68 Ennis-Kilrush road, approximately 17km from Ennis. The trailhead is located near the community garden area beside Lissycasey church, on the right-hand side as you approach from Ennis. Free roadside parking is available in the vicinity, and coach/car parking is available at the church.
Take the second turn from the trailhead onto a minor road leading up a hill towards the woodlands.
