The route, which won first prize in the European Greenways Awards in October 2009, begins at Dee Street and passes by the CS Statue at Holywood Arches, continuing along the Bloomfield Walkway.

It then passes through Tullycarnet and Dundonald, before finishing at the Belfast Road in Comber. There are several access points along the route.
