The easily recognisable form of Torc is visible from most parts of the town and the surrounding National Park.

Gap of Dunloe Walk 5th Class enjoyed a trek through the breathtaking scenery of the Gap of Dunloe. The Gap of Dunloe is a narrow mountain pass forged between the MacGillycuddy Reeks and Purple Mountain by glacial flows. The river running through the gap is the river Loe from where the Gap gets it’s name. The pupils started  at Kate Kearney’s Cottage .Within  easy walking distance from Kate Kearney’s cottage is Strickeen mountain to the right and a picturesque old bridge known as the ‘Wishing Bridge’. It is said that wishes made here really do come true! They continued walking until they came to the ruins  of an Old Royal Ulster Constabulary Barracks and Kiernans Inlay Furniture Workshop/House. In this workshop the craft of inlaying furniture was practised. This furniture is currently being sold worldwide for thousands of euros. Sample pieces can be viewed in Muckross House. The 5th class pupils enjoyed a memorable day despite the rain!
