Gortarowey Forest Recreation Area

The best way to walk around within the shadow of Benbulben is by visiting this area within Benbulben Forest. There are three trails: the looped longer walks take you along the northern slopes of the mountain, affording spectacular views. The longest is the Benbulben Loop , which is clearly signposted, 5.5km long and takes around two hours to complete. Each trail starts and ends in the car park. Download a map from the website.
