Hiking
An 8km stretch of the old railway has been converted into a traffic free walking and cycling way. The views of Muckish Mountain are fantastic and there are old stone railway bridges along the way. Listen very carefully as you walk near Fiddler's Bridge as there is a waterfall nearby.

Hiking
On the road at Glencolumbkille is the old Cashelnagore railway station with distinctive white stone pillars lining the road. This is the main setting of the 1992 film "The Railway Station Man", which is set in the dark IRA era.
