Points of Interest

The landscape on-route features bogs, callows, woodland and unspoilt traditional farmland of many tiny fields, and makes for wonderful and varied low-land walking.

Walkers are offered the opportunity to take in nearby towns and villages of Ballygar, Creggs, Glinsk, Ballymoe, Ballintubber, Dunamon, Castlecoote, Athleague, Mount Talbot and Castlerea at frequent intervals along the way, which offer refreshments for visitors and a chance to soak in all the culture and craic of rural Ireland.
