This loop takes you on forestry roads, grassy tracks and laneways along the Glasha River and through Coolishal Wood to join up with an old Military Road, opening up wonderful views of the Comeragh Mountains and Knockanaffrin Ridge’s Seven Sisters. Look out for a disused slate mine, with ruined mine workers’ houses and a mass rock.
