Route Description<br />

To start this short walk, follow the path at the far<br />

(west) end of the car park over a footbridge and<br />

uphill where you then turn left. The walk passes<br />

through some beautiful woods, and then you<br />

soon turn left and follow the sign down to the<br />

Cockle House. Then, continue down to the<br />

riverbank and follow the path along its side.<br />

You soon reach a footbridge over the river to<br />

your left. Cross it and follow the path leading<br />

away from the river. This section of path leads<br />

to the Cidercourt Road. Turn right here, crossing<br />

Cidercourt Road almost immediately to join a<br />

public right of way leading to Main Street. Turn<br />

left onto Main Street and then left again onto<br />

Mill Road, and proceed back to the starting<br />

point. Please note: some steep sections.<br />

How to get there<br />

Crumlin Glen is signed off to the left on the<br />
