Causeway Hill
A scenic ramble through seldom visited countryside on the western edge of Tyrone, the route’s highlight is the Causeway, an abandoned stretch of the original Killeter to Pettigo Road.

Nearest Towns: Killeter
Distance: 9.5 miles (15.2km) Linear
Points of Interest: Killeter Heritage Centre, Ancient bog causeway, panoramic views of Fermanagh and South Donegal

From the car park at the rear of Killeter Heritage Centre, turn right onto the main street, following the brown sign to St Caireall’s Church and St Patrick’s Well. After a short distance turn left on to the Aghalougher Road and then left uphill on Meenahullan Road. Continuing southwest the road becomes a track. Pass through the gate leading to the Causeway, and follow the line of the Causeway, crossing several stiles and a short footbridge. This unique feature is an ancient road in the process of being inundated by the surrounding Blanket bog. Local folklore recounts the Causeway’s history as a border smuggling route, particularly busy during the strict rationing of World War II. The route continues through a wooded area, coming out at a large gate onto the Hill Road, leading to what is known as the ‘Black Gap’. Pause at the crest of the gap for panoramic views of Fermanagh and South Donegal. Return by retracing your path back over the Causeway to Killeter
