"Beautiful, rugged, peaceful. Well marked trail."
"Pictures and videos don't place any justice, views from the outset. Lovely coastal walk. Few places are a bit of a climb but mostly fine. Boggy in places so waterproof boots a must."
"What an experience! Totally loved climbing high above the ocean on the cliff edge. Came across "Eire 63" written with big coloured stones on the grass just near one of the cliffs. Is it for helicopters? Also saw someone is rebuilding a look out tower just on the edge. Saw fishing twawlers below is that looked like tiny dots in the ocean. Even the seagulls were flying below us. So glad we did the walk and so glad I had my inhaler. Definately not for the faint hearted as there is a lot of adrenaline moments to be had. We were very fortunate that we had fantastic weather 28 to 30 degrees. Went for a swim in the sea after to cool down. Highly recommended."
"Fab walk very well marked out, great to see toilets start of walk. Spectacular coastal sceenery un spoilt great views throughout. Very good terrain underfoot; good four hours walk if you want to stroll and take in the sights. Definitely recommend if you are looking to get out and away from it all. Mary and Joe"
"Great escape along sea cliffs, signs are not great so you will have to make up the route. I thing the signage was good a few years ago but when the Mayo county council put in new footpaths they tore up the signposts. Top tip bring your smartphone and download Google earth"
