The bus services may vary, so check the local schedules. You will need to get off at a stop closest to the R480 road. From there, it's about a 30-minute walk to Gleninagh Castle. Follow the R480 south and then look for local signs pointing you towards the castle. Please note that public transportation may not run frequently, so plan your trip accordingly.
