This trail consists of Finnamore Lakes Upper and Lower and features a wide variety of birdlife. Depending on the season, swallows, house and sand martins swoop over the lakes, wheatear and common sandpiper frequent the shore and surrounding grasslands, large numbers of golden plover and lapwing gather in the wetlands and both mute and bewick's swans visit the lakes, while dragonflies and damselflies are seen near the lakeshore.
