Directions
This is a pleasant walk on a quiet country road, wooded banks of the Ilen River and pathways through fields with some lovely views on your return journey. Starting at the Drimoleague Railway Yard, follow the blue arrows. Walk Westward through the village and turn right to take the Quarry Road. Continue to a point where you descend into the Ilen River Gorge. Here you take in the history of Moyny bridge, cross two more footbridges and enjoy the wooded riverbank until the walk finally brings you upwards and over the ridge then back to Drimoleague village via the old Millards farm yard, the slate quarries and the old Drimoleague Water Works .
