Nice trail and views but kind of easy to lose the track in places due to overgrowth. Missed one turn and saw a sign on other side of hedge. Don't know how I missed a ladder, ended up climbing a gate to get at it. An arrow pointing straight ahead doesn't always mean such. There were a few fields with charging cows and no signs. Could see Upperchurch in the distance so knew where to go. Nice trail to go once.
John J Barry from Waterford
A lovely short walk for a summer's evening. I walked/run the 8km in 90 minutes. Lots of walking due to hilly(good) and rough ground(bad). I knew it would be farm land so as expected parts are well well dug up from the cattle. Signage seemed good enough since I didn't get lost and I had no map with me.
Would I do it again? Yes!
Would I recommend it? Yes!
Well done Upperchurch. You're a credit to the rural community.

Well marked trail. Most of the walk is through active pastures so be mindful if hiking on a wet day as mud maybe an issue. The old laneway and the benches, which have a great view, near the two kilometre mark also add to the trail pluses.
