The Tinahely Railway Walk follows part of the dismantled Woodenbridge–Shillelagh railway line through woodland, riverside sections and open countryside. Starting at the Railway Walk car park near Kilcommon Bridge just outside Tinahely, the most popular option is the 6–6.5 km out-and-back to Tomnafinnoge Woods (1.5–2 hours at a relaxed pace). Mostly flat, well-surfaced and clearly signposted — suitable for families, casual walkers and buggies.

Park at the Railway Walk car park near Kilcommon Bridge, just outside Tinahely. From here three options: the Main Railway Walk (~2.3–2.9 km one way) is a flat linear trail towards Tomnafinnoge Woods following the old railway line; the Railway Walk Extension (~2 km) extends from the car park towards Aughrim; and the most popular Combined Out-and-back (~6–6.5 km return) walks from Tinahely to Tomnafinnoge Woods and back the same way. Allow roughly 1.5–2 hours for the full return at a relaxed pace. Mostly level, well-surfaced and clearly signposted.
