Lough Aroher Loop

It was a lovely, quiet and secluded walk amongst the unspoilt Irish countryside. Throughout the entire walk, we did not see another person so it was very peaceful. It was extremely well sign posted with clear paths marked so there is no worry of getting lost! At first we followed the river along the moorland, then got on to boggy terrain. This terrain would not be good to walk on when it is rainy because, even though we walked when it was relatively sunny, we did have to dodge a few puddles! There was quite a steep and tiring climb, but at the top there were pleasant views and an attractive bit of downhill. Following that, there was a short forest trail that was not particularly interesting. We finally followed a beautiful river back to the Bothy that marks the start/finish of the walk. The walk took us about 3 hours at a steady pace. Altogether, it was a great way to see some of the traditional Irish countryside.
