Basic Trail Description and special attributes:

A long walk mostly through rolling pasture land. Dramatic views of Manati Bay over to Speery Island and the Black Rocks. On the way back, a good long downhill leading back to the start of the walk. Result of previous heavy grazing and subsequent erosion, is still prevalent.
