The Beara-Breifne Way is Ireland's longest national waymarked trail, stretching almost the entire length of the country. Families can explore individual sections of the route on foot or by bicycle, passing through coastal landscapes, mountain ranges, river valleys, and lake regions while following the historical 1603 march of Dónal Cam O'Sullivan Beare.
