Itinerary description

The “Tra” walk gets its name from the prominent lankmark – Lough Antrawer – that you pass along the way. The walk traverses through forestry tracks and upland blanket bog of Sliabh Beagh. Enjoy panoramic views as you approach the summit of Sliabh Beagh. On a clear day, fourteen counties are visible from this walk.

The loops begins and ends at the Sliabh Beagh Hotel and is mostly off-road except for stretches at the beginning and end of walk.

When you get to the upland bog section of this hike you will enjoy a lovely tranquillity as you cross the hill before a very pleasant and easy descent down the hill.

Lane way up the hill

Initial pleasant lane up the hill before entering the jeep track forestry path up the hill. Unfortunately at the beginning of the lane the farmer has cut down the trees and much of the hedging that I recall from previous hike here.
