This trail runs on forest track along the River Mahon through deciduous woodland, open pasture and conifer forest between the river and the road to Mahon Falls from Mahon Bridge. The woods include a great diversity of trees such as ash, holly and rowan, particularly attractive in Autumn with their colourful red berries, and are an important habitat for a range of wildlife including red squirrel, pine marten, otter, bats, ring ouzel and dipper, with the southern section of the trail providing panoramic views of Coum Mahon and Knockaunapeebra to the North.
