Description
Starting and finishing at Ballyconnell Marina, this great looped trail sweeps into a landscape that mixes silky waters with a woodland of oak, ash and beech. Starting off, you’ll have the Woodford River, part of a canal linking the Shannon and Erne rivers, by your side. Cross a couple of stiles and you’ll be into Annagh Lough Woods, which was once part of the old Ballyconnell Demesne. The path here loops around the forest, before bringing you back along the river trail to Ballyconnell.
