This trail leads the walker along part of the route traversed by the Wexfordmen/Pikemen during the 1798 Rebellion and passes alongside historical and archaeological landmarks, a number of which are listed monuments. There is a mixture of terrains such as country roads, pedestrian footpaths, forestry roads and wooded and open pathways. There are panoramic hilltop views across Wexford, the Wexford coastline and neighbouring Counties. The natural vegetation such as heather and furze along the route also provides an added attraction.
