My accommodations in Castlebar recommended this as an activity on a rare sunny autumn day. The views were stunning and the path well-maintained. I walked to the car park entrance (per their directions) and there were a couple of signs about the history of the area (back to prehistory) around that entrance. I never saw any of the markers or features the signs said to look out for, not even the crannog, but it was interesting to know some history before setting out. I ran into heaps of locals on my walk.

Walked all of the loops with friends visiting the area. Scenery along the cliffs is absolutely stunning. The Stags of Broadhaven and Erris Head (Again another loop walk destination) within sight and spectacular. Off the beaten track and undiscovered. Challenging enough hike for novices if doing full Benwee Loop. Proper walking boots and poles a must. The Loop towards Rinroe is easier for casual walkers but again I’d recommend proper footwear. This region doesn’t get enough recognition as a tourist destination. The town of Belmullet with all it’s amenities within a short drive and well worth as a stopover point for a few nights to explore the Mullet peninsula with it’s spectacular beaches Well worth going that little bit further West on the Wild Atlantic Way - it’s off the beaten track but you certainly won’t be disappointed.

Excellent trail from Cong Abbey to Clonbur. Route clearly signposted. Possible to take a detour to White Island which in total was about 15km from Cong to Clonbur and back. Great facility.

Crystal clear waters with beautiful Sandy Beach. Pier jumping at high tide is a must. There is ample car parking, beach & pier patrolled by lifeguards. Watersports available. Make sure you bring a picnic and mind the jellyfish ????. Louisburg is simply a class destination !!
