The other routes from the same place

These start within eight hundred metres of the same point and share parts of their length. The arrows are what tell them apart on the ground, so each is named with its colour here rather than shown only in it.

About these directions

Public transport times come from National Transport Authority. Timetables cover 2026-09-18 to 2027-09-19. These are scheduled services; check with the operator for cancellations and changes before travelling.

Walking and driving times are estimates. A town search starts at its centre; choose your location or a point on the map for a more precise starting point. Eircode search is not available.

Questions people ask

How long is Castle Trail?
Measured along the line OpenStreetMap draws, 1.2 km. No published figure has been found for it.
Where does Castle Trail start?
The map does not name a start. The line begins 2.0 km from Ruan, which is where the map is drawn from rather than a waymarked trailhead.
Is this the same as the other walks from here?
No. 2 waymarked routes start within eight hundred metres of the same point: Castle Trail at 1.2 km, Dromore Wood Loop at 6.3 km. They share parts of their length and are told apart by the arrows, so the one you follow is the one whose colour you keep to.
Is it open today?
This page holds no closure notice for it, which is not the same as knowing it is open. Cliff paths and forest routes close after storms and during works, and those notices are published by the operator rather than on the map. The link above goes to whoever manages it.

Where this comes from

The route
The line, the name, the colour and the waymark are the OpenStreetMap relation relation/15429105, and can be corrected there.
Worked out here
The measured distance, whether the line is continuous, which settlement is nearest the start and every distance on this page are this site’s own calculations from that relation, last built on 2026-09-20. No climb is measured here, and no time is estimated: a walking time appears only where an operator publishes one.
