Here you can continue on to meet a farm lane and return back towards the village or you can cross the bridge to the far bank and continue to follow the path to meet the Gelvin River and on towards the Ballyquin Road.

At this point you can return via the route you can along the river or follow the Ballyquin Road to meet the Derryork Road.  Please note that there is no footpath should you chose this option.
