Barrawishlaun & Eagle’s Rock

This route takes you through the picturesque village of Lurganboy and on up over a hill known as Barrawishlaun (printed as Barrnacaislean on many maps). The road is mostly sealed but there are a few heavy gravel sections once you reach the summit so descend with caution. On reaching Glenade valley a series of back roads takes you high along the valley edge to a geological feature known as Eagle’s Rock. From there you head back to the main Kinlough road and back towards Manorhamiton.
