Families can cycle or walk through the Doolough Valley, taking in the scenery and visiting the famine memorial. It is a place for quiet reflection.

You'll pass between the hills and by Doo Lough before reaching the famine memorial opposite Glenullin Lough.

A yearly walk is held along this route in memory of residents who died during the famine and to highlight the starvation of the world’s poor still today.
