This walk follows blue arrows to circumvent Cong Abbey, crossing the Cong River and into Cong Woods. It is a very enjoyable walk; circling through the woods on woodland tracks and passing some points of interest such as the Priest's House, Guinness Tower and Teach Aille Cave.

Walked this trail at the weekend (15th January 2017) with my partner and dog. Absolutely loved it, it was a mild dry day, the loop is well marked out with interesting finds along the way. Will definitely be back to do the longer trails.
