This looped walk takes you on minor roads and bog roads into the heart of this bog habitat as it traverses an attractive and diverse landscape with fine views of Lough O'Flynn, the Suck River, open peatland, evergreen forestry and typical bog scrubland. Due to the lack of housing nearby it feels more remote than it actually is.
