Midir and Etain Trail: Brí Leith Walk #
The Brí Leith Walk is approximately 4km. It is part of a bigger driving, cycling and hiking trail that is intended to go from Ardagh Heritage and Creativity Centre, through the picturesque village of Ardagh, across by the Farrell Castle, Abbeyderg into Kenagh arriving at Corlea Trackway. It then can be linked
up with the canal at Kenagh and The Blueway. This initiative is a long-term project undertaken by Longford Tourism Committee, funded by the Towns and Villages Scheme and facilitated by Coillte. Building the bog road at Corlea is one of Midir’s forfeits in the Legend of Midir and Etain.

The walk featured on RTE Nationwide on the occasion of its official opening on Bilberry Sunday 2019.
Longford Sports Partnership have kindly given us permission to share this video of the walk. If you want to leave out the main road parts, start at any of the three yellow dots on the map.
