A Hidden Gem in Glangevlin
The Séan Éamoinn Ruairí Trail is an opportunity to escape from the stresses of modern life into a paradise of tranquillity. With views of preserved, rugged Irish landscape, old fields that have stood the test of time and abandoned farmhouses that will have you feeling like you’ve stepped back into the past, you’ll never be disappointed with this hidden gem. The trail takes you through to the uplands of Glangevlin, and past many sites of historical significance.
