5.6 km2 hrModerateLoop225 m climbDogs on a lead
This trail, mostly on very quiet tarmac road with the final descent on purpose-built gravel footpath, takes the walk around the western slopes of Tountinna Mountain, passing through remote countryside with exceptionally spectacular and impressive views of Lough Derg and the surrounding area. The primary feature of interest is the remains of the Graves of the Leinster Men at which point, it is said, the Leinster King and his men met their deaths at the hand of Brian Boru in the early 11th Century.
