Easy walking on the Rath Wood Forest Trail

The Woodland Walks project is the first of its kind in Ireland and is a partnership between Coillte, a landowner (Rathwood) and a local community group.  There is a short wheelchair / child’s buggy walk to a lake and a longer looped walk through the 185 acre Wood.  Access to all walks is from Rathwood’s car park.
