Step into nature and history on this captivating walk along the Clashganny Viewing Point Loop.
Departing from the famed viewing spot at Clashganny, the walk travels downhill towards the River Barrow. From there a rugged path, narrow in places, runs through deciduous woodland before passing an old mass rock to join the old towpath immediately adjacent to the river, where horses pulled barges for transport. After a short distance, Ballykeenan Lock is reached and from there the walk re-enters the forest to return to the starting point.
