Description by the author

Located on the lower slopes of the Slieve Felim Mountains, this looped trail offers walkers expansive views across counties Limerick and Tipperary, while late spring/early summer brings a vibrant display of rhododendron. Home to the hen harrier, one of our most spectacular and rarest birds, keep an eye on the sky overhead!

The return section overlaps with the Slieve Felim Way - a long distance walking route which stretches almost 36 km from Murroe in County Limerick to Silvermines Village in County Tipperary.
