Variable
About this activity

You will head towards Cuilcagh Mountain Park to start your walk along the Cuilcagh Legnabrocky Trail.. 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.

Return to Marble Arch Caves Car Park and your driver will have your Caves tour ticket for you . Enjoy this fantastic underground tour which includes a boat trip underground - see the beautiful stalactites and staclamites.
