This walk follows forest roads around the woods, passing close to Lough Seecon on the western side of the forest, climbing gradually to the northern end and returning on public road. From the public road section there are spectacular views over Lough Corrib to the east and towards Cong to the north. Sections of the loop are quite exposed in bad weather and mobile phone coverage may be poor.
