    7. Dunmore Woods

Mixed woodland of broadleaves and conifers. Two rivers flow through the property namely the rivers Gully and Nore. Great for bluebells present in Spring. The cellars of the old house still remain. There are steps from the old house down to the river Nore. Old exotic plants planted adjacent to the house still persist. There is a well belonging to the house situated along river/path. The old estate gates still exist. Old specimen trees around and a very old stone bridge is marked on the site map.

 

When travelling on the N8 Durrow to Abbeyleix, about 2km outside Durrow take the first minor road on left. About 0.5km on the right hand side is Dunmore wood.

The woods have a mapped looped walk as well as being part of the bigger Leafy Loop 23km trail.  The full map for the Leafy Loop can be found here
