Along the moor

Highlight • Trail

After the forest was cut down over a large area some years ago, a natural moor landscape has developed here. The trail leads you below the mountains along the edge of the open wet meadow.

The Lickeen Forest is a small nature reserve. The forest grows on a hill and the trail leads you along the gnarled trees to the highest point. Upstairs, enjoy a sweeping view of the Lough Caragh valley.
