Walking or Hiking - The Miners Way & Historical Trails and the Shannon Blueway.
The Arigna Miner's Way and Historical Trail is a network of scenic walking paths that wind through the adjoining counties of Cavan, Leitrim, Roscommon, and Sligo. The Miner's Way retraces many of the historic routes once used by miners commuting to the Arigna coal mines. One particularly easy-going section follows country roads and tracks alongside the river and a disused railway line, stretching from Arigna to Drumshanbo.
