Hi guys,
I'm new here but I'm really liking the forum so far. I'm planning a trip with some friends; we heard about Galboly, 'The Hidden Village', and are pretty interested to check it out! Can anyone tell me the best route to walk to Galboly; I'm struggling to find information elsewhere online, although I believe you can start at Glenariff?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Connor
