This delightful trail follows gravel path as it descends through farmland and circumnavigates the beautiful Drumleen Lough as well as looping on forest track through the trees on the slopes of Tristia Mountain, before crossing open bogland on boardwalk to return to the car park along a path partly separated from the road by bushes, with spectacular views of the surrounding landscape.
