This trail takes the walker along the stunning coastline on clifftop path (includes uneven surface, soft ground and loose stone) and scenic country roads. West from the trailhead brings you on the loop along the coast taking in Kildoney Point and on to the Barr House before circling around the country roads and Gillespie's Lane back onto the coastal path to the pier. Also walk eastwards from the Pier to Killbarron Castle Viewpoint and the ruins of the medieval castle (not accessible). Throughout views are spectacular encompassing Donegal Bay, Sliabh Liag, St. John's Point and Mullaghmore. Enjoy the flora and fauna, the sights and sounds of the maritime life including birds and perhaps a pod of dolphins.

Beware of cliff edge and steep slope
