Walk of the Week: In a stir of the wind one could hear Yeats

DROMORE WOOD LOOP, COUNTY CLARE

CONTINUING our series of favourite walks this week we feature Dromore which was memorable in springtime and I wondered if I revisited now, when the trees are bare, might I spot a red squirrel. Pine martens are present, too, but are nocturnal.

Dromore’s 1,000 acres of lakes and woodlands is managed by the Forest and Wildlife Service. We made the gates our trailhead, rather than driving to the car parks 2 km. within, and missing the first part of the route.
