Peaceful Surroundings

Slow down and soak in the peace of our semi-native woodland on this gentle guided walk. Covering 2-4km at an easy pace, this tour invites you to reconnect with nature as you wander beneath a canopy of oak, birch, willow and ash. 

Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll learn how this diverse habitat supports birds, insects and wildflowers. And how careful stewardship is helping it thrive for future generations. With birdsong overhead and the forest floor underfoot, it’s a chance to experience the quieter side of Lough Ree’s landscape.
