Fantastic walk.Beautiful scenery. Saw loads of up close deer and cattle.Only downside was the really soft mucky ground in many parts.Was lucky that it didn't rain.Would recommend in drier months

An enjoyable walk. Very well sign posted for those not familiar with route. Not too strenuous if used to walking. Trail brings you through forest, woodland, farms, riverside walk. Would highly recommend it.

One of the best routes in Slieve Bloom Mountains. Very well signposted, taking you first through an old lane , then nicely climbing until the Giant's grave is reached. There you can have a picnic as two tables are on site. The path continues its ascent, reaching the top where amazing views unfold. On descent, the route follows the Silver River bank which offers astonishing views as well (a waterfall and few viewing points). It is not a very easy route, however, if doing walks on regular basis, it poses no difficulties.
