While travelling to the start of the walk, you'll be driving along the Old Munster Road or the Slí Dhála, one of the 5 ancient roads of Ireland which ran southwest from Tara. Keep an eye out for the standing stone, known locally as 'the fiddler's stone' in the field opposite the forest entrance. The name Glenafelly is derived from Gleann na Feille or 'the valley of treachery'. The walk will take you to just below the summit of Barcam mountain, which has the dubious honour of being the fourth highest mountain in Offaly, rising to a height of 484m above the valley floor.
