Killinthomas Wood
National forest
👍👍 Lovely place for a walk. The trails are clearly marked, longest one is 1700mts. You could spend a good few hrs just exploring the different trails. The car park is a bit small but it is free. Will definitely come back once blue bells are in bloom.

Balrath Woods
National forest
👍👍 Lovely area for a wander. Not large but has loads of paths that you can get lost on - and there is a map and trails showing the easy/paved walks and others a bit off the track. Seats/benches are along the paths aswell, and a couple of picnic benches. There are a few attractions for kids dotted aroun...

Deerpark Forest
National forest
👍👍 This is the place to clear your head and breathe in the magical air we need. It's not too long but could be as long as you want either. This place brings forest and water senses together. I love it. My children love it and the dogs love it. It's busy enough at the weekends but people can be avoided....

Raven Wood Nature Reserve
National forest
👍👍 This sandy forest runs adjacent to Curracloe Stand and is one of my favourite places in Wexford. The woods are peaceful with sandy trails running along the dune tops, a welcome diversion from the beach for dogs and people alike, with beautiful views from a height over the sweeping arc of the pristin...

Carrickgollogan Forest Trail
National forest
👍 Very pleasant and easy walk, dog friendly ( on a leash). Nice views of Dublin from the top and loads of blackberries :-) The car park could have been a bit bigger, but this is not why I removed a star - just if you have planned to go there, head off earlier in the morning as there is no alternative...

Curraghchase Forest Park

👍👍 Curragh Chase Forest Park in Limerick is an amazing place with lots of greenery. Upon entry, you do have to pay €5. It has a green field where you can have a picnic or barbeque with your friends and family. There's also a children's playground. It has long walkways and a nice bridge. It also has...

Benbulben Forest Walk
National forest
👍👍 Nice place to walk, relax, breathe fresh air and have a beautiful view to the mountains and sea. Take at least one hour and half of your time to do the shortest trail around the mountain. The trail is easy but at some points you can get your shoes a little bit wet, so get prepared to this. You can p...

Newcastle Wood
National forest
👍👍 Great place to take a stroll in the woods. Good pathways. Pram and wheelchair friendly. The pathway along the river is very scenic. There is a small kiosk where you can buy drinks and snacks. Lots of picnic areas. Go early as there is not a whole lot of parking available. Definitely worth a visit.

👍👍 Newly made trails linking up with existing ones now makes this great walk even better . Great views of the Boyne valley . Coffee /snack truck with decent ice cream too. Decent parking with park benches. Little gem really . Bigger trail walk than you might initially think.

Portlick Millennium Forest
National forest
👍👍 Lovely forest walk with some amazing trees and surroundings accompanied by the lake. The walk has 3 routes, a red medium walk (~2.5km), a small 500m yellow walk off of the red walk and a blue walk (~3km). We combined all of them and it took us just over 2 hours with a few stops for photos on that. I...

Barnaslingan Forest
National forest
👍 Pretty good place for a short nature walk. There are two main trails here, the red trail and the blue trail, with the red one being longer. I took the longer one so I could get to the lookout area, which had good view of the forest below. Even being the longer trail, it's not that long though, took...
