Fantastic walk with really stunning views. Very well marked and easy to follow. A few seats / picnic benches en route. Takes about 2/2.5 hours. Weather was good but there had been lots of rain during the week and the ground was quite boggy in places, so would definitely recommend hiking boots for it. Well done to those involved in developing and maintaining this walk, it's fabulous!

Came across this little gem 25th Jan. Fabulous little quaint restaurant, never made it upstairs but we could hear fabulous music been played which carried down. Food was amazing. We had the prawns gambas to start and the prawns were beautifully cooked in garlic on sourdough bread, just wanted more.... the other dishes we had were panfried hake on chorizo risotto OMG amazing, so tasty. Also seabass in a creamy mushroom sauce. They hadn't got a children's menu but were willing to cook anything from their main menu in a more simple version. Kids both had chicken fillet with plain spaghetti pasta and they lapped it up. Staff were super friendly and attentive. Also what's more made us feel extremely welcome with the children on a busy Saturday night at 8pm. Had a beautiful bottle of Albarino wine called Charquino. Couldn't fit desert in but children had ice cream and even the presentation for the children's ice cream was pretty. Unfortunately I got no pictures but we will definitely be back and highly recommend.

If I was lucky enough to live within walking distance of this lovely promenade I would indeed be a very grateful lady. Yes, it is very busy on a nice day and you do have many children, dogs, bicyclists and roller skaters to share with, bu it is a lovely walk with plenty of places to rest, breathe in that sea air and watch the world go by.

A nice little stop off on your way to Din Aonughusa, set near the ocean, ruins of 7 churches. Reccomend visiting for a little break on your route.

We had the most fabulous walk with excellent directions and information posters. You can complete the full walk (only about 5 km) and it is incredibly varied and beautiful, going through fields, woods, by ruins and along Lough Ree. The ruins are amazing and we didn't come across any other walkers which was great for us although a bit sad that more people aren't aware of this place. This is one of the best walks we've done in Ireland.
