What a wonderful trail to do. Weather needs to be good as timber steps may be slippy, but the views of all the Strandhill and Sligo area are great. We had a 9 and 11 year old with us and they had a great time. You can also go down the opposite side and take the road back to Strandhill. Great day out.
