Tóchar Daithí Bán is an easy 1.8km trail, named after mythical giant Daithí Bán, who built a fortress on Ballycroy tallest mountain, Corslieve. Legend has it that Daithí would regularly walk down to the sea and use the three islands between Ballycroy and Doohooma Head as stepping stones.
The trail starts at the visitor centre in Ballycroy National Park, which provides panoramic sea views out towards Achill Island and Blacksod and ends at the rear of the visitor centre, which has picnic tables on an outdoor patio area, and entrance to the tearooms.
