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.
