This loop follows purple arrows on forest road with a short section of path and of tarred road, first alongside the Colligan River before climbing gradually uphill into the forest, leveling off and then descending, looping back to near the start. The second part takes the riverbank northwards as far as Colligan Bridge winding back to the trailhead through the woods across the river. The views are expansive and include the surrounding woodland and farmland with Dungarvan Harbour and Helvick Head in the distance.
