This is a beautiful 14 kilometres walk along forest tracks and old traffic free roads, although there is one rough muddy section which necessitates boots rather than shoes.  The walk is very well marked with the red arrows but for a map, more information and photographs go to http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=13732618

It starts in the square in Carlingford Village, climbs  up the hill and then turns right along a forest track where you can enjoy wonderful views of Carlingford Lough. At the stile, it turns left and then handrails the fence above the forest. This is the rough part but it can be negotiated with care.

After approximately 6 kilometres, the landscape opens up again to give excellent views of Carlingford, Slieve Foye, and Barnavave and the track improves to a broad grassy path.

This will take you to Maeve’s Gap and then downhill to a deserted village. From here, a stile gives access to a series of old roads which will bring you back to Carlingford.
