Starting in Dowra, Boyle or Arigna, the 118km Miners Way follows many of the paths used by miners going to work in the Arigna Mines. The Miners Way links with the Historical Trail which traverses the Curlew, Bricklieve & Arigna Mountains, passing many features of interest including Carrowkeel megalithic tombs, Labby rock, wind farms, Sequoia Trees & the Bricklieve Mountains. The rough terrain & breathtaking scenery is spectacular and this is matched historically by the largest concentration of passage tombs in Ireland, believed to have been constructed between 3000 and 2000 BC. The Lough Key Forest & Activity Park boasts unique attractions and trails. The 350 hectare estate contains many historical walks through the 19th Century Parkland.
Use our Map of Ireland and Sat Nav tool to get directions to the start point and our detailed maps and GPS on our ActiveME iPhone App and Android App to find and follow the walking route live on screen and keep on track. At all times, our maps and App should be used in conjunction with proper map and compass navigation techniques.
