 Walk Route

We will leave Loughshore Car Park and walk to the main road, crossing at the first pedestrian crossing. Then walk through the village and turn left up Glenavna Park. We will the follow the path that leads under the railway viaduct, through mixed parkland and woodland, past Monkstown Forest and up to Hillside Nursery. The paths are mostly well maintained though a few parts may be a bit muddy depending on the weather. There are no particularly steep inclines.

The walk should take just over 2 hours there and back.

Lunch is available at Hillside Nursery, or if anyone prefers they can wait till they get back to Jordanstown where other eateries are available.

Toilets are available at Loughshore Park and at Hillside Nursey.
