Fantastic tour of the mills with an excellent narrative from Miriam Cushen as to history and prospects for this, very traditional family business - well worth the visit and the town if Graignemanagh is quaint, traditional and worth a few hours and a lunch.

Would definitely recommend, especially if you visit on a sunny day like we did. The views were fantastic. It was very peaceful and the path was flat and very manageable. Beautiful and suitable for the whole family.
