This wood was presumably planted hundreds of years ago by the landords of the time. The floor of the wood is a carpet of wild flowers, with bluebells, primroses, crocus and foxglove just some ot the dozens of varieties to be seen. The birds and wild animals also abound and chorus of birds make it sound like the dawn chorus all day.
This entire property is within a mile of Lough Arrow, which is one of the top trout fishing lakes in the country. Historically, this area around Lough Arrow is very significant, having been settled by man over 5000 years ago. The landscape in general in this area offers a fascinating variety of water, cliffs, bog, grassland, woodlands and an increditably wide variety of wild plants and shrubs.
The opposite side of Lough Arrow reputably hosted the battle fought at Moyturra between the Tuatha de Dannann and the Firbolgs.
