Description of the walk

Start : Information panel, 114 Lenagh Rd, Omagh at Fairview House along C612 in the hamlet of Rousky.

(S/E) Start the route by following the C612 road North-West, from the information panel showing the route in the hamlet of Rousky.

(1) After 1.5 Km, turn right on Crockanboy Road (B46) and follow this East for 1.5 Km until you pass Rousky Village Hall on your right.

(2) Turn right (South) at the trail noticeboard following the track downhill, passing over several large stiles, until reaching the bottom of the hill and a grassy area. Follow the waymarker posts leading you along the river bank to reach a gated bridge that crosses the Ownereagh River.
