A fantastic walk taking in the beautiful oakwoods of Ariundle, the rugged open moorland with fine views of the surrounding mountains, and the lead mines which once employed 600 miners on these moors.

Terrain

Mostly easy paths and tracks, but the outward section from Ceann a'Chreagain to the mine is overgrown, boggy and hard to follow - best avoided by non-navigators!

Public Transport

Very infrequent bus service.

Start

Ariundle Oakwoods car park. Open start point in Google Maps for directions.
