There is a busy road dividing the two loops of about 100 yard crossing. From April to September the Wexford Lavender Farm can be accessed from the Curragh side. The Curragh side of the trail has been resurfaced and can now be walked all year round. The Kilanerin side is now buggy and all terrain wheelchair accessible with pre booking from Kilanerin Sports Centre.
