    About a quarter of a mile below the Cross Roads popularly known as Thrush bank an old road or Bridle Path wended its way round the hill Drimmernagh to the town of Donegal. Traces of this old path are plainly visible and trees which formed its boundaries are still growing. The view from this old path is simply magnificent. Lough Castle and grounds to the North. Barnesmore Gap and the Main Rd. lie North East and then nesting in the valley the town of Donegal There is no such view to be found on the road now in use.
