The route is described as follows:
"From th harbour or the south promenade in Ramsey head south and past Ballure. The route now follows the main road until you reach the A15 road to Maughold on the left. Follow this down over the electric railway line at Bellevue and you reach Port Lewaigue and Gob ny Rona. It is well worth spending time here looking back at the sweep of Ramsey Bay and the route that you have come along the coast from the morth.

Contiue on the coastal path - but be aware that the coastal route at Port-e-Vullen is restricted at high tide and you may need to continue along the A15 towards Maughold to take an inland path across Gob ny Roan.

At Port-e-Vullen there is a short stretch on the road and then you follow a path back to the coast via a kissing gate. From here you are on some of the Isle of Man's best coastal cliff walks as you head onto Maughold Brooghs, and in spring when the gorse and the bluebells are blooming it is breathtaking. You walk past mining remains and a view point on the top of Maughold Brooghs, then on towards Maughold Head and to the edge of Maughold Village. Take time here to explore Maughold Church, Churchyard, Ancient Keeills and the Cross House which has the largest collection on the Island of decorated stones and memorial from the Island's Celtic and Norse Chritian past."

Alongside the narrative description of the trail route is a small street plan of the part of Ramsey near the start with the South Promenade start point marked and a photograph of Maughold Lighthouse.
