Really enjoyed walk here today. Roads first and then fields. End of had walk is the nicest along the Aherlow river. Note though, fields are extremely wet this time of the year so ensure proper footwear. Lovely views of the Galtees on this walk. 1.5 hours to complete.

Okay trail. Parking at Abbey. Once off road pastures were muddy and slippery. As a suggestion plan to walk when it's been dry for a while. Could use a wee bit better marking but all in all was a fun walk.
