An absolutely beautiful forest. Gorgeous trees, thick and tall. Path leads down to a stunning stone beach with amazing panoramic views over the water. Little rope swings on the beach for a bit of extra fun. Millions of gorgeous shells and stones on the beach. Well worth a visit for a lovely stroll.

Great walk for the dogs. Bit of a climb back up but worth is.

This is a great forest for anyone interested in walking or running trails! The forest is full of little loop trails with side trails that you can make into any sort of loop that suits you and your ability. Be aware that after rain some sections of the trails can get a little muddy and can be slippery. The forest itself is full of gorgeous trees with some beautiful old Oak and Beech trees as well as some evergreen trees. The forest trails meander through the woods and there is a path that hugs the coastline. When the tide is low you can walk along the bautiful stone beaches that have a brilliant view of the Cork harbour. Its not the longest of forest trails but it is well worth a visit for a couple of hours and there is decent sized carpark. One thing to bare in mind is that the trails are all down hill so you will have to walk back up hill to the carpark.

Marlogue wood is located on the south east of Great Island and bounds the Ballynacorra River and Cork harbour. It's quite a nice forest with lot of indigenous tree species but its quite limited in size of you are after a long walk or trek. The paths are well worn and won't tax you if you are more used of demanding terrain. You can access the strand from the forest and this is quite a treat. This is an all stone strand with no sand however. The area originally carried old oak stands that were felled during World War I. I'd recommend for a medium stroll. One drawback is the road to get to it is quite narrow and winding and one would want to be quite careful of oncoming traffic.

From the parking it's a nice walkway to the beach. When it's low tide, you can have a long walk on the beach. After rain it's a little muddy and slippery. It is a place to go.😊🌳🌅

Lovely walk! Especially with dogs or kids. It can be a bit of a steep incline but very manageable though. I do recommend walking all the way down to the beach stunning views there!

Beautiful. Decent amount of parking. Nice shaded walk down to the water. Beware: walk DOWN to the water = walk UP to the carpark.

Beautiful walk in the woods with trails that lead down to the shoreline, its not the longest walk but enjoyable.

This place is beautiful, especially when you walk all the way down to the water, it is gorgeous, expect a little bit of walking up the hill, but in general it is an easy walk. It is about a 2km walk to the water from the start of the walk. Very relaxing and serine.

Brilliant recreational area with access to sea from various walks and ways! Great location and views of the harbour.

A forest is a magical place and especially when it's alongside the sea, a beautiful haven to explore through the seasons.

Great walk in the woods,like an obstacle coarse at times - over & under branches,slippery tree roots,steep descents & climbs,some of the trails were hard to make out.Fantastic scenery & sounds with a stoney beach thrown in as well.Plenty of car spaces available on my visit.

Very picturesque woods. Relatively small but some nice trails and suitable for bringing the dogs.

Beautiful walk down to the water.
