This walk is entirely on metalled road.  This allows walkers who might be apprehensive about climbing the hills or walking in open country where navigation skills could be needed to enjoy the magnificent scenery without leaving the road for the wild mountain sides.  The walker needs only to observe where the way markers lead at each road or track junction.  The placename "Killateeaun" is a fine example of the Gaelic language adapted to a new form, the placename meaning the Weed of the Fairies.
