THE BEARA BREIFNE WAY
IRD Duhallow Tasked To Develop The Trail IRD Duhallow is undertaking a Project Development Measure on behalf of the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht to map and develop the off-road route of its catchment section of the Beara Breifne Waymarked Trail. The project focuses on developing a route from Ballyvourney through the Duhallow area to Liscarroll. The development of the Beara Breifne Way will add significant value to the region. However,
if the route is not carefully designed from the outset, it will be difficult to advance the project sustainably. At present, the North West Cork Way long-distance route is not classified as a National Waymarked Trail (NWT), and it must be elevated to this standard. Achieving this requires proper trail design with a higher proportion of off-road sections.
