We held the second walk in our Walk Waterford Autumn Series yesterday in Colligan Wood, near Dungarvan. The mild and pleasant weather added to the enjoyment of this lovely wooded walk for all participants.
This beautiful Coillte forest is at the foothills of the Comeragh Mountains near Dungarvan. The woods boast a variety of walks and also an ideal picnic spot by the Colligan river. There are three options of walking trails here. There is a short flat stretch along the river bank which is guaranteed to leave even the most stressed feeling a bit more relaxed and refreshed. There is also the choice of two marked National Looped Trails - the Inchadrisla Loop of 3.5km and the more challenging Geenane Loop of 6km.
Our third walk in the Walk Waterford Autumn Series is on Sunday 2nd October along the beautiful Tramore Doneraile, meeting at 2pm in the car park on Priests Road opposite the entrance to Supervalu.
This 4.9km route is one of the Sli na Slainte routes which offers majestic views over Tramore Bay and surrounds as well as interesting heritage sites on the way.
Walkers will need suitable walking shoes (runners are ideal), warm clothing and a waterproof jacket. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
