Barán Loop Directions & Map
Directions: From the trailhead at Arundel's car park, follow the green arrows west towards Kilcrohane, turning right after 150m at Ahakista Bridge, and then immediately left (sign for Barán). The trail ascends Rosskerrig Mountain and then turns left downhill, with fantastic mountain, coastal and sea views. On the way back to the main road, the trail passes a number of burial grounds and the Átha Thomáis memorial, where the trail turns left and returns to Ahakista Bridge and the trailhead.
