Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail
Cuilcagh Legnabrocky Trail
A boardwalk and staircase that cross peat bog and climb straight up the ridge, known as the “Stairway to Heaven.” It is Northern Ireland’s most popular hiking route.
The full name of the route is Legnabrocky Trail. From the car park, a gravel path runs about 4.5 kilometers into the blanket bog conservation area. The final 1.5 kilometers are boardwalk and steep steps, leading up to a viewpoint on the north slope of Cuilcagh Mountain that overlooks the lakes and hills of Fermanagh and Cavan. The round trip is about 15 kilometers and takes 4 to 5 hours. The trail is free, but parking must be reserved and paid for online in advance, at about £10. It is windy and cold at the top, so bring a windproof jacket and waterproof shoes.
