Lovely trail. You can see variety of landscapes on this walk. Forest, meadow, riverside, lakeside and couple of ruins to keep you interested. Well marked, follow the purple arrow.

Really nice woodland walk close to Ennis for all the family. It's an old wood with a wide range of tree species, easy on the legs and excellent underfoot. It was a windy day but the wood gave great protection from the elements. Very well marked. Please note there are a number of other shorter nature trails also marked out in the wood.
