About the Walk:
This forest trail takes you through the Lower and Upper Woods of the coastal village of Dunmore East with beautiful flora and fauna to be seen along the trail. It’s in the middle of the village and is an easy walk. The contrast of the forest and then the amazing coastal views of this beautiful fishing village are wonderful.
