It was announced recently that there is a plan for a new walking trail in Glengarriff linking the village to Glengarriff Woods. At present, there is a 650-metre stretch of the N71 road separating the two which is very dangerous for walkers and runners to use.
It also means that any visitors to the Glengarriff parkrun have to drive there instead of running or walking out from the village.
The distance from the parkrun to the Castletownbere road junction is 1.3kms, it's 1.5kms to the Glengarriff Park Hotel and 2kms to Eccles Hotel.
The new trail would also allow easier access to the quite country roads to the west of Glengarriff Woods and up to the upland areas around Barley Lake.
