Next to the center the Alexander trail is a cool and shady forest trail leading down to the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail – the 70 KM trail from the Causeway to Inverness. Bikers and walkers enjoy this trail along the coastline with access to side trails leading to accommodations and food.

Wild apples, berries, flowers changing with the seasons, small streams and bridges and coastal grasses. Good opportunity for bird watching and chance sightings of fox or deer along the way.
