Delighted to tick off another thing on my Bucket List: walking the Stairway to Heaven! The views along the Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail are just beautiful, with purple heather, a few dozen sheep, as well as a little lake. The Cuilcagh Mountain Park has a huge blanket bog that’s bounded by limestone grassland to the north and montane habitats to the south. So how long did it take us? Well from the carpark to the top of the stairway and back, it was a total of 11km and only took us 3 hours with a few small breaks. You may have read elsewhere of people claiming it takes four or five hours, but don’t believe that! If like me, you’re relatively fit and keep a steady pace, you’ll manage it in three hours or less (and I have bandy knees!). The full hike will include three different terrain: a dusty stone path over the hills, the wooden boardwalk and then the steps. Take your time, take in the views and enjoy it all! What should you wear? I do recommend you wear good footwear with cushioned socks, runners or hiking shoes are best, and workout gear/loungwear – leggings and a top will do the trick. Definitely bring water and some energy-boosting snacks, and even a sambo if you take a well-deserved break by the big rocks. And please take home your litter! Be aware there are no spots for bathroom breaks…and nowhere to hide from others to do it in the open!

If you are looking for a place where you can feed the ducks, look no further. There were dozens and dozens today! There is a nice little play park and public outdoor gym equipment . And a nice cafe you can drive Right up to the waters edge almost to park. There was a large sign with information about different boat trips available , although we didn't have time ourselves to follow this up. Very nice little park area .
