The Gort River Walk starts close to Gort Town center at Bridge Street /Aldi and follows the east side of Gort River as it flows North. The trail passes first through an area previously used as large mill site. It skirts a recently rediscovered Holy Well of St Manchan and proceeds to follow a meandering river out of Gort town and to an open upper bank. It is possible to loop back to the Pound Road or follow the river bank trail or by taking an old farm road over to Lavally.
