The car park at the start of the route is on the right when coming from Kérity, just before you reach the entrance to the abbey.
(S/E) At the end of the car park, take the path that goes up to the right and follow it.
(1) At the fork, continue along the path on the left (yellow markings). Follow the stony embankment path. Cross the river and go up into the woods. Continue until you reach a road, cross it and take the dirt track opposite. Continue through the woods until you reach a second road: cross it and take the track opposite. Go down into the woods and follow a stream.
(2) At the intersection, take the path on the left (ignore the markings that continue straight ahead; do not cross the river). Follow the path through the woods, along a stream and then a pond. At the end of the pond, you will see a waterfall on the right. Continue north, still on the path. At the next fork, just after a makeshift hut, take the path on the right which leads downhill. At the bottom, go behind the house by the pond and you will reach the D786 road.
(3) Cross and continue to the right on the hard shoulder for a few metres. Then take the path down to the left and pass by a house. Continue and then take the path on the left, climbing a few steps. Continue to reach the dyke path and take it to the right.
(4) Leave the path and walk across the sand to join the path that continues along the seafront.
N.B. At high tide, continue for a few metres then take the path on your right.
Continue as close to the sea as possible and walk around Cruckin Island. The path leads back to the salt meadows.
(5) Turn left. After about 200 metres, turn right. After a hundred metres or so, cross the small stream by stepping on the large stones.
N.B. At high tide, the stones are inaccessible. In this case, after going around the island, at the end of the path lined with trees, turn left and cross the meadow. After the meadow, take the path on the right and then, at the fork, turn right. You will come back to the front of the abbey.
After crossing the stones, turn left through the chicanes. Walk a few metres and then take the wooded path on the right. Follow the path, cross the bridge and the double porch. After the porch, go up and head to the abbey or, to return to the starting point, turn right after the porch and cross the car park. Go up the access road and turn right. You will arrive at the road. Cross it and take the pavement on the right. Walk a few metres, then turn left to return to the starting point (S/E).
