This Waymarked Way begins in the Barnes car park in the Glenelly Valley. From here follow the waymarked route uphill along the country road through the Gap – cut during the later stages of the last Ice Age. In modern times the Gap (Barnes in Irish) has provided a physical link between the communities of Glenelly and Owenkillew and was the site of the National School in the 1850s. Also, buzzards are frequently spotted circling above Barnes. A track or ‘green road’ to the left contours Mullaghbolig and descends into the Owenkillew Valley at Vinegar Hill via a farmyard. From the farmyard follow the road over Glenlark Bridge and Coneyglen Bridge, passing a church at Greenan, and continuing uphill to Ligatraght beside the Coneyglen Burn. Waymarkers lead along the stream. Head over the Burn across a bridge, continuing uphill on the minor road past Doraville Lodge Sheep Station and descend to Lough Lark and Sawelabeg. Doraville offers spectacular views of the entire length of Coneyglen to where it meets Owenkillew Valley in the southwest. The landscape around Sawelabeg is a watershed for both the Glenelly and Glenlark Rivers. The route continues down into Corratary and meanders along a spectacular section of Glenelly before re-entering the Owenkillew Valley. The track then goes round Mullaghbane to Glentrina Bridge. At the Glentrina crossroads turn right and continue uphill for about 1.25 miles (2km) before descending into Glenelly. Right again, at the track crossroads and follow the route uphill over several stiles leading to a stretch of open hill where way markers at the crest guide the descent into the Owenkillew Valley. The Owenkillew River is designated an Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI). Its banks support remnant oak woodlands with their own distinct flora and fauna. Walkers go left along a stretch of green lane to Barnes, descending through the Gap to finish at the car park.
