The loop begins at 'Peelers' public house and follows along forestry tracks and grasslands, as well as some quiet boreens and country roads, through the townlands of Rosmult, Roskeen and Rossoulty. Visit the blessed well, old church and graveyard at Templebeg before journeying on through Birchill and Knockane and its abundant wildlife and pleasant flora. The Duck Pond, just 400m to the south of the trailhead has a picnic area where you can relax after your walk.
