Get Directions

This trail follows forest road and path through mixed forest passing a holy well, the site of a hedge school, a mass rock and a mast as well as close to an oak wood on what was a Camp Field used by United Irish insurgents in 1798. Breath-taking views are of the neighbouring countryside, Mount Leinster, the Blackstairs Mountains and the coast in the direction of Hook Head.

Ger Carty from Wexford

All your signposts need revision with update to signs replacement paining and directions. You have an exceptional location with a wonderful choice of walks. Add more detail on your tree growth/history /age/ etc. The 1798 history and forestry history COMBINED could and would be a huge added bonus in promoting the area and COILTE. Thank you and well done.
