Trawlebane Loop Walk

January 6, 2014 by Dunmanus

A two-hour walk from Glandarta Bridge to Vaughan’s Pass, the Trawlebane Loop Walk passes through lovely and varied countryside and culminating in spectacular views of Bantry Bay.

You will pass by the statue of Captain Francis O’Neill who preserved a large part of the Irish traditional musical heritage in Chicago. (O’Neill’s legacy is celebrated in the annual Chief O’Neill Festival.)

You will observe the homestead of the Downing sisters and finally you will pass by a megalithic tomb called ‘The Queen’s table’, as you come in sight of Bantry down below.

You can purchase the Drimoleague Heritage Walkways book at Centra, Drimoleague for more details.
