Carey's Castle Wood

Highlight • Forest

Carey's Castle Wood is a delightful mixed woodland on the north-western fringes of the Comeragh Mountains. The ruined castle that gives the woodland its name is a fine sight. Built on the banks of the Glenary River in the 1800s by the Carey family, it showcases a range of architectural styles. There's a network of paths and tracks through the woodland, making it a pleasant place to explore on foot.
