Trail description

This waymarked loop starts at the Erris Head car park north of Belmullet and follows grassy paths and an old earth bank around the steep cliffs of the headland. At the northernmost tip a railed viewing point looks out over Illandavuck Island, Pigeon Rock and dramatic sea arches. Sport Ireland grades the 3.9 km loop as easy and recommends waterproof boots for the soft, wet ground.
