This trail mainly follows cliff path as it heads towards Wicklow Head Lighthouse with a loop at the far end along the edge of a golf course, on the way passing historic Brides Holy Well, a church ruin, coves and beaches with several opportunities for grey seal and bird watching, all the while offering beautiful vistas of Wicklow Harbour, Bray Head, the Wicklow Mountains, Lime Kiln Bay (given its name by the remains of one) and Brides Head.
