This tranquil woodland loop on forestry tracks passes close to the grounds of Kinnitty Castle (now a hotel), fords several tinkling little streams and passes the scant ruins of Glinsk Castle with many fine broadleaf trees evident. There are fine views over Offaly and great views of the surrounding mountain valleys
