I’ve hiked this trail many times and it was of my favourite local walks. However it appears to be neglected of late, the little narrow paths are almost overgrown and some areas are so waterlogged they are impassible. I know the weather has been very wet but this particular stretch is an ongoing problem. Maybe a boardwalk there?? Also a house on the trail lets their dogs run loose and they are quite intimidating. Such a shame, as it’s a lovely varied trail. Come on Laois Co Council.. please get it sorted and safe again.
