The gravel trail forms a lollipop shape loop from the car parking at the edge of St. Johns Wood. There are more trails through the woods to explore but the surfaces are less even and more prone to mud.
This is one of Ireland's largest surviving areas of ancient woodland and is now managed by the Native Woodland Trust. Look out for alder buckthorn and bird cherry trees. The area is very biodiverse so you may also spot pine martens, bird’s-nest orchids, and the extremely rare wood warbler.
