Beautiful walk, easy parking in the lovely village of Kiltealy. Way marked with granite stone signs crafted locally. Pass the Lime Kiln as you walk up Cullentra Lane. Make sure you stop and turn around to soak up views as you climb. Easy underfoot. Nice then to stop in either The Thatch or Bowes in Kiltealy for a warm drink after walk.

Really nice trail along the coast. You could bring a buggie but it might need to be collapsed to get through the first part and getting up the step would be tough. You can avoid that by parking in the cafe car park instead of the harbour car park. There is a lovely looking cafe right at the start of the trail but it wasn鈥檛 open but I attached a picture of their menu.
