Glansheskin Wood, Kilworth, Co Cork 

Just outside the village of Kilworth near Fermoy is a walk in the woods that is as refreshing to the soul as a cold shower is to the body. There is a beautiful, long walk, mainly along the River Douglas whose gurgling sounds drift through the trees as you stroll along. This river in turn flows into the Araglin, which then joins Ireland’s second longest river, the Blackwater. There are several paths leading off from the main trunk so it is advisable to pick out a marker if straying from the main path.
