It's not much of a top but the highest point in the woods is the gentle summit of Mullaghreelan at 170 m (558 ft). It's in the woods so no real views but still fun to find and tick.

There are two waymarked trails in Mullaghreelan Wood; the red Rath Walk and the slightly longer blue O'Tuathaill Walk. The woods are criss crossed with trails and the whole area isn't that big so it's also fun to just wonder and see where you end up. The longest path is the perimeter trail which is about 3 km (1.9 miles).

The park is beautifully laid out

The Mass Rock in Blane's Wood, is a historic site that holds significant religious and cultural importance. Located within the Oughaval Wood, the Mass Rock was used for secret Catholic masses during the Penal Laws in the 17th and 18th centuries, when the practice of Catholicism was prohibited. The Mass Rock is nestled in the center of the forest, hidden from view, and a stone cross was erected nearby in 1957 to mark the site. Mass is still celebrated at the Mass Rock on occasion, and an altar and seating were added in the year 2000 to facilitate these services.

One very unmistakable monument dating back to pre-historical times is the great Brownshill Dolmen the east of Carlow town.
