For those who may find the Miners Way, the Suck way and the Sligo way too extreme and wish for something a little less energetic, then the Lough Key Forest Park is ideal. It provides abundant long and short nature trails that display all the fascinating aspects of the Park. Guides to lead walks over more demanding terrain can be arranged for groups. Specialist companies offering walking holidays are starting to appear along the border counties and they will arrange everything for both individuals and groups.
