This “Mass Path” was used for over 200 years by the people of Lugnagun and  Blackrock to go to church, school, shop and pub in Lacken before cars became plentiful and is marked  on the Griffiths Valuation maps of 1856. It is built with stone walls 8 feet high in places and passes through a landscape still bearing the scars of the famine years, ruined houses and potato ridges, etc. Views of Poulaphuca Reservoir and Mid Leinster as far as the Slieve Bloom Mountains are magnificent.
