Of moderate difficulty, the trail can be hiked in 2 days and consists mainly of local roads, mountain paths and woodland tracks. There is a total elevation gain of about 3280 ft, there are some spectacular views from the high points.

An enjoyable trail with wonderful views across Carlingford Loch. Places to camp in Ravenside Forest, but it's possible to do the trail with indoor accommodation, which is more plentiful in Carlingford. A lot of road walking with some very boggy parts across hills immediately behind Carlingford. Plentiful water sources so bring your water filter. Very doable on a weekend.
