The Pilgrim Path, an ancient religious path used by pilgrims since ancient

mystical location, passing church ruins and a holy well on the eastern summit
of Sliabh Liag.

food and drink after your walk.Walk takes approx. 1 hr 30 mins each way –

if not doing return section.
Not normally guided, but if required an English/German speaking guide can be
sourced locally. There is a charge for this.
