The Offaly Way is mainly a link way. This walk links the Slieve Bloom Way to the Grand Canal Way and includes mountain, riverside and access to a number of sites of interest including Turraun Wildlife Park, Boora Mesolithic Site, Kilcormac 16th century Pieta, St. Managhan's Shrine, Boher, Esker Riada and Silver River plus panoramic views of the midlands. Walkers are requested to obey directional and warning signs on the bog trails.
Because the walk is only a link walk, it can be covered in a day. It is only 18 miles long in total and is at its highest at 458 ft, making it an ideal trail to include within your short vacation in Ireland.
"I just wanted to let you know our Ireland trip was fabulous!! Thank you so much! Your recommendation to Adare Manor was a top tip! I went to Ashford Castle as well, it was very very nice to, but my preference is still Adare Manor. I just wish that I had booked 2 nights there instead of just one. The B&Bs were TOP too! Especially the one in Kilkieren up in Galway. Barbara was lovely and couldn't have done more to make our stay memorable. The Hillside House is definately one you can recommend to anyone!" -- Silke
