Lovely place to have a stroll and be one with nature. It's a really beautiful place to visit. You could for miles.. there are benches beside the so a picnic could be organised. More signage on the trails would be better, especially for people who have come for the first time as it's easy to get lost in the woods, etc.. Great place to take a stroll in the woods. Good pathways. Pram and wheelchair friendly. The pathway along the river is very scenic. There is a small kiosk where you can buy drinks and snacks. Lots of picnic areas. Go early as there is not a whole lot of available. Definitely worth a visit. This is a beautiful with numerous well laid out walks. The paths are level underfoot and suitable for buggies if you have young kids. Plenty of cyclists about too. Lots of fresh air and shelter from the elements if it's a bad day. Lovely car park with plenty of spaces. Worth a visit. A few months ago, when we walked through the in Co. Longford, it still looked alive, even if a little neglected — we noticed some broken chairs and old traces of use. But today, we were shocked to find nothing but empty, bare fields where the trees once stood. What is happening to the forests in Co. Longford? This isn’t just about one area — entire plantations are being cleared, leaving behind vast stretches of open land. It raises serious questions about how our woodlands are being managed and what future is left for these landscapes. And where are the deer ,so abundant here —supposed to hide now that their natural cover has been stripped away? This is a great place for hiking and cycling. Beautiful nature of the Irish forest. The territory of the is more than 300 hectares. There is also parking, benches for picnic and rest. Great place to with your pets. The walking route offers beautiful scenery, especially as you alongside the canal, but be aware that it’s not well-marked. Starting from the lot, the path by the canal is lovely, but it’s important to note that it doesn’t form a loop. If you follow the canal, you’ll eventually need to turn around to return to the lot. I initially thought it was a loop, but continuing along the canal leads you towards Ballymohan, where the route connects to a busy road with no footpath, making it unsafe for walking. Beautiful for the whole family. The woods are lovely & the river at the end of the was really nice to relax at. Had to wait for a spot as there's not a lot of spaces at this popular site. I feel it could be better mapped out with little signs showing the different loops & how many km's. We enjoyed the long around the Centre Parcs site (took about 90 minutes) but found ourselves having to the last 15 minutes on the roadside which wasn't ideal with 2 children. Definitely worth a visit! Very nice around the and by the river Inny. Good car park with steps down to the river. On Sunday mornings can see kayakers. There is no play ground but children can explore the if go straight in the woods. Lots of fallen branches to make a den. Can spot red squirrels and deer. Close to Ballymahon town. Now in autumn 2025 can see most of the being cut out, lots of wood stocks. We cycled from Centre parc to Newcastle wood and through the wood to the royal canal greenway and East on the greenway to Abbeyshrule and back to centre parc by the Newcastle road. A great cycle and lovely paths. Eventually we found a route that avoids the road. Turn right into the wood 300m after the main exit and head to the White bridge. Then turn right for the greenway.
