Starting point - Lower Spargo

Path goes alongside of Rosswithian Farm Holiday Lets

At the top of the hill, the path goes along a gravel road in the direction of Boundis Farm

The path turns to the left next to a horse training circle

.

The path turns left over a granite style

At this point the path goes across the field directly to Goodagrane. However, we did not like the look of the cattle, especially as they had calves, and decided to go straight on to Boundis Farm and then go along the road to Goodagrane

Path turns left off the road by BF Adventure

Layout of BF Adventure site

We turned right into the BF Adventure site, partly to have a look and partly expecting to find a route to Trevone Farm. Asit turned out we did a circular route around the BF site, and had to retrace our footsteps to find the path to Trevone Farm

The Canoing Quarry

Platforms for "tombstoning"

100 yards beyond the entrance to BF Adventure we found the left turn towards Trevone Farm

Several small holdings where people enjoy an alternative lifestyle
