The Lock 7 Ballyduff to Aghoo Bridge walking trail can be completed in either direction with car paking facilities at either end, writes Martin Branagan.

The entire length of the walk is 8 kms and walkers are advised to wear suitable shoes / suitable footwear and bring rain gear, a drink and a mobile phone.

This is a  linear trail taking in the tranquility of the Shannon-Erne Waterways along the towpath and partly on minor local roads.

The route crosses over the canal at several locations, so take care, especially when close to lock chambers.

Please also take special care at all on-road sections and at our near all road crossings.
