Route Description for Gortin Glen Walk
If the aim of your next walk is to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and reconnect with the beauty of the natural world, then you will want to check out the Gortin Glen Walk. Featuring a dense covering of trees and peaceful woodland paths, this walk will provide you with the perfect atmosphere to recharge your inner battery and get a spot of exercise in the process.
