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.
