About the trail
This is a very attractive and accessible short walk which is marked in both directions along the same route along the shoreline as far as the woodland where it breaks into a shorter inner loop and a longer outer loop, both marked in one direction only. It passes close to lake callows and disused lime quarries and the area is generally rich in natural and industrial heritage.
