Hiking
There is a Mass Rock within Pike Wood where mass was celebrated during Penal times (1690s to 1750s) when Catholic masses were forbidden and had to be celebrated in secret. In the history of Ireland, the Penal Laws (Irish: Na Péindlíthe) were a series of laws imposed in an attempt to force Irish Catholics and to lesser extent Protestant dissenter planters and Quakers to accept the established Church of Ireland.
