I was blessed with sunshine on the day of my walk but this walk would be stunning whatever the weather. So much to see you'll be invariably stopping again and again to admire the views and wildlife. And then the piece de resistance... the stunning strand (aka a beach if you're not Irish lol) at the end. Great little café at the entrance in a beautiful spot by one of the little lakes.
Great for walking, running and relaxing. Sound of creek and the green from woods just amazing.
Absolutely fantastic easy walk,family and kids friendly. Also easy access for disabled people. Walk is very relaxed, mostly between or near the river. We spotted swans and grey heron, beautiful nature, animals, flowers and trees. Overall is little bit above 10km from start to the beach in Annestown and back. Dunhill Castle ruins in the middle of the walk.
Amazing nature walk from Dunhill, passing Dunhill Castle to Annestown with a length of 5 kilometre. There are plenty of parking spaces at each end of the track and in the middle below the castle ruins. The hiking trails are well maintained and safe (cycling is not allowed) . You can discover many plants and observe animals. Last time we watched an Otter hunt. You should allow 2 hours for the whole way there and back. With Children a little more. A great activity for a Sunday afternoon. Don't forget the Picnic!
This is an amazing little find. The walk is wonderfully maintained but without losing a natural look. The diversity of birds, insects and plants was impressive. The terrain follows the Anne River and is very flat so it is an easy place to stroll. Access is free and there were a lot of family groups there. Parking is good too.
