Moore Hall Forest Recreation Area
National forest
👍👍 My very favorite area in Ireland. The history behind Moore Hall is fascinating and the walk is beautiful. It's amazing to see the hall up close and the size of the building, along with the coach quarters, outhouses, and tunnel. Absolutely recommend a stop and a walk to visit.

Brackloon Woods
National forest
👍👍 Beautiful and healthy looking forest. There's a carpark nearby school within 3 min walk from the forest entrance. Enjoyed the peaceful 4km loop walk and variety of plants. The place is opened for public, so not sure why the misleading information on google maps.

👍 Fajne miejsce na spacer z dziecmi i psem . Na około lasu zrobiona ścieżka. Można tu podziwiać rośliny. drzewa , piękne widoki na górę Patryka a także siąść i odpoczac na ławeczce. Znajduje się tu też 🅿. Polecam pochodzić w głąb lasu z dziecmi .

Glenstal Woods
National forest
👍 This is a beautiful forest walk. You can vary the start position and route so you need walk very little on the road. Roads are typical Coillte roads apart from the fact they used the largest size gravel aggregate available in a few places repairs have been done. It's dangerous underfoot and could le...
