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.

9. Lough Talt Loop Walk
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 5 reviews
This is a scenic walk around the shores of picturesque Lough Talt in South Sligo. The lake and its surroundings are home to a diverse range of bird life. The lake also boasts an abundance of brown trout. The first section of this walk is along a lakeshore track with the return journey along a busy road. For this person families with young children may prefer to return back along the same track.

This is a really beautiful and peaceful walk around the stunning Lough Talt. The walk around the trail is beautiful and well done, the loop goes onto the main road which is dangerous and really busy so it might be an idea for families to just walk back along the trail. The views are stunning. The turn into the lake comes kind of suddenly and it’s narrow enough so take care. Plenty of car parking there too.
