点评:It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a walk as much as the one I took in thexAbbeyleix Bog. The people involved have done a wonderful job conserving the bog and creating this beautiful walk, a combination of earth and gravel paths and raised wooden boardwalks.
It's so good that I literally did it twice!
There are two walks, one a 3.6km loop and another 7.6 km, I think. I did the shorter loop as it involves a wooden boardwalk out to the centre of the bog. It's stunningly beautiful but it's also the peace and quiet it involves. When I finished it, I promptly kept going and did it again for a second lap!
There's a square wooden platform in the very middle of the bog, what a lovely quiet spot. Wish there was a bench there!
The walk is easy and flat, just wear appropriate footwear. It is wide enough for buggies. About three quarters of it is through woodlands at the edge of the bog then the boardwalk across open raised bog.
Loads of parking at the trailhead by the hotel. Completely free to do and open 24 hours.

这条步道太棒了,我实际上走了两次!
有两条步道,一条是 3.6 公里的环形步道,另一条是 7.6 公里,我想。我走了一条较短的环形步道,因为它需要一条木板路通向沼泽的中心。这条步道美得令人惊叹,但同时也带来了宁静。当我走完它时,我立即继续走,又走了第二圈!
沼泽的正中央有一个方形的木制平台,真是一个安静的地方。希望那里有一张长凳!
这条步道简单而平坦,只要穿合适的鞋子就可以了。它足够宽,可以推车。大约四分之三的路程穿过沼泽边缘的林地,然后是木板路穿过开阔的高架沼泽。
酒店附近的步道入口处有很多停车位。完全免费,24 小时开放。
