The Tower Loop starts in Glencolmcille village and follows quiet lanes, tracks and a short bog path north to Túr Ghlinne, the ruined signal tower on the cliffs above the Atlantic, before returning down the valley. Discover Ireland calls Glencolmcille one of the oldest places in Ireland, with pillar stones carrying early Christian markings.
