I started the trail in the Village of Ballyorgan crossing the road and walked down a grassy lane, I crossed over the road to the River and continued to follow the river until I ended up at Darragh trail head, it's not quite a loop, as I was unaware I had to walk about 5km back the road from Darragh to return to Ballyorgan Village. 🙈🙄
