Looking downstream from the Bridge - the path also extends downstream towards Turlough.

It looks like it will be wide enough for a cycle path and walkers.

The path goes for slightly over a kilometre at the moment, running into a dead end for the moment.

Quiet now but it's going to be a busy greenway once it's completed and all the sections link up.
