Starting in Sopwell Woodlands (Coill na Lathach), an old woodland site, the walk passes through the townlands of Lahile (An Leathchoill) and Loughaun (an Lochán), a diverse landscape of woodlands, bog and boreen. A footbridge over the Silver Stream leads to Scohaboy Bog LIFE site, an SAC, home to a unique tapestry of peatland life. One of the most successful community supported conservation efforts of its kind in Ireland, Scohaboy Bog is an award-winning raised bog restoration project and a 1000m bog-bridge crosses the restoration area, passing a spur to a viewing platform with expansive views south over the high bog to low lying hills with a high point of Keeper Hill (Sliabh Coimeálta). Exiting onto the old bog road and crossing the Silver Stream a sheltered boreen leads to the Old Birr Road, left to Lahile Woods and back to the trailhead on the forest path network.
