A red waymarked circular route through thickets of woodland and commercial forest. The walk meanders along the course of a woodland river, the river sparkles on its journey to Lough Erne, filling your ears with the tranquil sounds of rushing water. If you are lucky, you may spot a kingfisher skimming over the waters in its search for food.
Leaving the river, the path takes you up through the forest driveway winding its way back to the car park. The roadside verges and wonderful wildflowers attract butterflies such as red admiral, speckled wood, and peacock.
