- Is cosán fad-achair in Éirinn é Bealach Ghleann na Suca (English- Suck Valley Way). Is bealach ciorclach 105 ciliméadar (65 míle) ar fhad é a thosaíonn agus a chríochnaíonn i gCaisleán Riabhach, Contae Ros Comáin. De ghnáth déantar é i gceann cúig lá. Ainmníonn Oifig na gCosán Náisiúnta de Chomhairle Spóirt na hÉireann é mar Chonair Náisiúnta Marcáilte ar Bhealach agus tá sé á bhainistiú ag Comhairle Contae Ros Comáin, Cuideachta Forbartha Comhtháite Ros Comáin agus Coiste Suck Valley. Ba é Comharchumann Forbartha Ghleann Abhainn Suck a cheap an Bealach, a bunaíodh i 1991 chun turasóireacht a fhorbairt sa réigiún. Thóg sé trí bliana é a fhorbairt, ar chostas Punt na hÉireann £ 80,000, agus fuair Bord Fáilte £ 46,000 de sin. D'oscail Enda Kenny, roimhe Aire Turasóireachta agus Trádála, go hoifigiúil i mBealtaine 1997. Ciorclaíonn an rian an tuath timpeall ghleann An tSuca ó dheas ón gCaisleán Riabhach, a théann trasna na teorann idir Contaetha Ros Comáin agus Gaillimh, ag glacadh leis na "Naoi Sráidbhailte Cairdiúla" i mBaile an Tobair, Dunamon, Castlecoote, Áth Liag, Mount Talbot, Béal Átha Ghártha, Na Creaga, Gleann Uisce agus Béal Átha Mó. Tá an chuid de Bhealach Ghleann na Suca ó Béal Átha an Rí go Baile Mhoe mar chuid de Bhealach Beara-Breifne, bealach siúil agus rothaíochta atá á fhorbairt, a bhfuil sé beartaithe go rithfidh sé ó Leithinis Beara, Contae Chorcaí go Breifne, Contae Liatroma, ag leanúint líne Donal Cam Máirseáil O'Sullivan Beare i ndiaidh Chath Chionn tSáile i 1603.

- The Suck Valley Way is a long-distance trail in Ireland. It is a 105-kilometre (65-mile) long circular route that begins and ends in Castlerea, County Roscommon. It is typically completed in five days. It is designated as a National Waymarked Trail by the National Trails Office of the Irish Sports Council and is managed by Roscommon County Council, Roscommon Integrated Development Company and the Suck Valley Committee. The Way was devised by the River Suck Valley Development Cooperative, which was formed in 1991 to develop tourism in the region. It took three years to develop, at a cost of IEP £80,000, £46,000 of which was grant-aided by Bord Fáilte. It was officially opened in May 1997 by Enda Kenny, who was at that time Minister for Tourism and Trade. The trail circles the countryside around the valley of the River Suck south of Castlerea, which straddles the border between Counties Roscommon and Galway, taking in the "Nine Friendly Villages" of Ballintober, Dunamon, Castlecoote, Athleague, Mount Talbot, Ballygar, Creggs, Glinsk and Ballymoe. The section of the Suck Valley Way from Ballygar to Ballymoe forms part of the Beara-Breifne Way, a walking and cycling route under development, intended to run from the Beara Peninsula, County Cork to Breifne, County Leitrim, following the line of Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare's march in the aftermath of the Battle of Kinsale in 1603.
