Easy route no special gear required. Very scenic

The route winds gently uphill, offering small clearings through which you can catch a glimpse of the valley and the sparkling water in the distance. The air here is wonderfully fresh and filled with the surrounding forests. During the climb you can feel the peace of the forest, accompanied only by the hum of the tires on the asphalt and the chirping of the birds. Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with a magnificent panorama.

It feels as if stories from times long past hang in the air here – the old tree has probably seen many seasons and radiates a certain calm and constancy.

This impressive tree, which has stood here for centuries, is a testament to the region's rich natural history. The paths leading there lead through dense forest and offer a pleasant ride away from traffic. However, some sections are slippery in wet weather, so care should be taken. A particular highlight is the proximity to the Cloughmore Stone, a huge boulder that was transported here during the last Ice Age.

In mid-April, you are greeted by a wonderful scent that comes from the flowering bushes beside the path - perhaps laurel? The fresh breeze mixes with the intense aroma that gives nature something very special. The bridge itself is surrounded by a quiet forest, which makes the crossing seem like a small oasis of relaxation. A brief moment that invites you to take a deep breath before heading back out onto the road.

Unveiled in Sept 2023 Tom Dunn’s legacy as the local hedge school master and as a leading United Irishman meant he was known locally as the ‘Peasant Patriot’. He knew the power of education and the inclusive nature of his teaching to both Catholics and Protestants through his hedge school and evening recitations of scholarly books, enlightened the poor and oppressed. As a testament to his life, emphasising how he played a pivotal role in guiding local communities towards a more integrated, cohesive and shared society, a series of intergenerational hedge school workshops were held this summer which paid tribute to Dunn and his pivotal role as a cross community educator and leader. Nice place to take a break and watch village life go by.
