New Village - Lough Seecon Trail
Oughterard, Co. Galway
Free to visit
The New Village loop walks provide additional loops off the Western Way, and will enhance the walking opportunities in the Oughterard area.

Lough Seecon trail follows forest roads around the woods, passing close to Lough Seecon on the western side of the forest, climbing gradually to the northern end and returning on public road. From the public road section there are spectacular views over Lough Corrib to the east and towards Cong to the north. Sections of the loop are quite exposed in bad weather and mobile phone coverage may be poor.
