This is an established trail with way-marker posts. It has a combination of cultural and natural heritage which gives a great insight to the island’s past and present. It has also some truly spectacular scenery.

The walk begins and ends at the gate across the road from the telephone kiosk at Tangasdale - approximately 1.7 miles / 2.75km west from Castlebay on the A888. There is an area near the gate which is suitable for parking. The walk leads out as far as Dun Ban, an Iron Age fortification approximately 2,000 years old. Other historical and archaeological sites to be seen are a 15th century tower, an 18th century settlement area and a 4,000 year old Bronze Age burial cairn.
