It is a fairly tough and remote hiking trail, in an area of largely blanket bog terrain.[citation needed] The Bangor Trail follows an old drover path which may date from the Iron Age. There are, along the route, evidence of previous human habitation, particularly from the mid-19th century just prior to the Irish Famine.[citation needed]
The Western Way is another walking trail in the same area.
