This car park forms the gateway to one of Donegal's most unique cycle paths. You are standing here on the route of the former Burtonport Extension Railway, a railway line that ran through this rugged landscape until 1947. From here you can cycle an almost flat segment over the old railway bed. This offers a unique perspective on the flanks of Muckish without you having to climb the mountain yourself.

The Atlantic cycling route passes here. However, the arrows are wrong, causing me to almost ride onto the railway.
