The trail starts at the pier / North Harbour and takes the road southwards towards South Harbour for around 500 metres before turning left onto a grassed boreen. The boreen climbs gradually upwards to a viewing point, which rewards the walker with spectacular views over the island in all directions, it then descends to join the road, where it turns left back towards the trailhead.
Facilities
