Coolgreany Ballyfad Wood Old Mass Path Trail

This trail follows forest road and path through a peaceful and stunning wood of old mature trees including oak, beech, Norway spruce Western hemlock, Douglas fir and Scots pine with swathes of bluebells a particular feature. Old woodland sites such as this are relicts of the original vast forests in this country prior to the 16th century.

Never having been clear-felled, the wood is rich in biodiversity and is home to some of the oldest oak trees in the country along with an abundance of wildlife and wild flowers. The walker is also treated to fine views of Croghan Mountain, Tara Hill and the coast. Three other trails start at this trailhead.
