Starting in the centre of the village in Ballymote community park, the gravel footpath brings you past the ruins of the Franciscan Friary - known locally as the Abbey - then to the 14th century Ballymote Castle and on towards a newer section of the walk past the old Corn Mill towards Emlaghfad Church. This follows the ancient route of Bóthar an Chorráin, which led to the Curlew Pass, an area of great strategic importance during the Middle Ages. From this point the trail loops back towards the town of Ballymote and the starting point.
