Cleedagh 5km (1 hr) / Slí Leathan 3.7km (50mins):
At the northernmost point of this walk in Cleedagh Bay – paving stone bay – where stones were quarried to build roads in the area. A shorter route – Slí Leathan – or broadway – brings you through cut away bogs.
The San Marcos Walk 5km (1hr):
The San Marcos de Portugale sank off Mutton Island on 20 September 1588 and despite being a Portuguese vessel, as part of the invading Spanish Armada this event gave us our placename – Spanish Point.
Morony Walk 8km (1.5hrs):
This combination walk roughly follows the boundary of the estate of the Morony family (former landlords) and passes Miltown House built by Thomas Morony in 1780 and home to the Sisters of Mercy from 1947 to 2020. It is now in private ownership.
