This loop follows purple arrows in a clockwise loop through Askamore Forest, on sandy lane, forest road, forest track and tarred road. It climbs and descends steadily on the access lane to the loop while the loop itself is more-or-less level, apart from a gradual ascent and descent towards the southern end and an ascent and descent along the slopes of Slieveboy. There are some fine views of the surrounding countryside.

Frank from Carlow

I enjoyed the walk but the trail was a little dour. Very few places to stop and rest or have some food. There was good shelter from the wind most of the way and we still got the sun. 2.5 out of 5
