This walk follows gravel paths, timber and gravel steps and elevated and stepped bog-bridge on a sustained climb from Strandhill to the summit of Knocknarea providing fine views as height is gained and a panoramic vista of Counties Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal from the top with the opportunity to view 'Queen Maeve's Cairn' on the summit.

Declan from Westmeath

What a wonderful trail to do. Weather needs to be good as timber steps may be slippy, but the views of all the Strandhill and Sligo area are great. We had a 9 and 11 year old with us and they had a great time. You can also go down the opposite side and take the road back to Strandhill. Great day out.
