Did part of this trail as part of the Ireland's Way route (so far only Upperchurch to Templederry). Most of the stiles make no sense and force you into a field full of cattle and maybe bulls even though the road passes right beside them. Why are there so many unnecessary stiles? I prefer walking off road but not if I'm going to have cows and bulls charging at me. Also the fields with the stiles don't have an area for the walkers- mainly overgrown and not separate from livestock. This route could do with some checking and maintenance.

Appalling signage, zero maintenance and overgrown tracks that are impassable. The maps are also wrong in places A complete disgrace, who is responsible for this shambles? I have rated it one because there is no minus figure...it would not qualify for zero.
