This area is steeped in history going back to the times of St. Barron in the 6th Century, after whom the parish is named and the ruins of his church still survive. In the recent past, the discovery of a sand cemetery gave rise to much interest and two archaeological digs have taken place to date.
Walkers will be enchanted by breathtaking views along the Co-op's specially constructed cliff walk, (10km). The route passes over moor and farmland and is equipped with fence stiles and direction markers. This walk is most suited to the physically fit and is a must for the explorer. For those who wish to stroll at a sedate pace, the area is laced with meandering country roads and there is a 5km stretch of golden strand at nearby Rossnowlagh.
