This trail eventually reaches a great viewing platform giving stunning views. There are various parking spots around the beach front at Whiting Bay that are a short distance from the start of the trail.

Also accessible on this walk are the Giants Graves - the remains of two Neolithic chambered tombs surrounded by tall trees.
