Trail Reviews

Una Murray

November 19, 2024, Dartrey Forest Walk

Good trail, forest is well taken care of. Nice seated areas throughout for family picnics. Suitable for cycling, walking and running, very quiet, 11km and never met a soul. Lots of wildlife around. A very pleasant walk and highly recommend Seans Diner in nearby Cootehill afterwards 🤗
