Description
A delightful loop around Foot’s Island which begins in the reed channel, to your right (north), on leaving Kilgarvan Quay. The island is largely tree-lined and tends to be sheltered from the wind on its northern side. Keep your eyes peeled and stay quiet and you may just see one of the native wildcats coming down for a drink as you navigate through the reed banks.
