Starting at Mulranny beach the loop heads west towards Corraun. Follow the red arrows uphill along the ‘Booster station’ road before turning right onto a bog track which offers great views of Clew bay and the islands. Passing by Mulranny church a circular path brings you around a wooded hill to a picnic table on top, from here you emerge onto the Greenway, over a railway bridge & uphill to a viewing point behind Mulranny Hotel, this uphill section contains native Irish woodland & the elusive wild Irish goats also inhabits the area. Once you get to the high point (80m) you have an easy descent towards the hotel and return to the beach via the causeway.
