Cuilcagh Legnabrocky Trail
The Cuilcagh Legnabrocky Trail is one walk within the long distance Cuilcagh Waymarked Way, a 33km walking route encapsulating Cuilcagh Mountain and its surrounding landscapes and townlands. It's a linear route that will appeal to walkers with some experience walking in the hills. The route is quite isolated and showcases the scenic wilderness of Cuilcagh Mountain.
The trail meanders along a quiet farmland track before traversing a wooden boardwalk that climbs steadily up the mountain face. Here, a stepped boardwalk climbs through steep terrain and fields of boulders, before reaching the summit plateau. A rough mountain path negotiates the wild summit plateau for a few kilometres before reaching an ancient cairn (the remains of a burial mound dating from the Bronze Age 2,500 – 500 BC) that stands at 666 metres (2,182 ft.) above sea level. Along the way, enjoy magnificent views of the Cuilcagh mountains and Lough Atona.
