The Kealkill Parklands near Carriganass Castle, just out of Kealkill on the R584, is an enclosed area where families can stretch their legs and enjoy a picnic. The parkland includes an open air gym, a 1.1km loop walk and a trail of fairy houses.
There are delightful things to discover on the walk including the whimsical fairy houses, little bridges spanning small streams and a bamboo tunnel to run through.
Well done to the team who worked so hard to put the Kealkill Parklands together in the first place.
Also at the parklands is a lovely tree memorial section known as O’Connor’s Wood. The initiative lets people buy a tree for €50 which will include a personalised tree tag and a certificate of ownership identifying the tree. All proceeds are in aid of the Kealkill Parkland Development. A personalised tree in the woods makes a great gift idea for a great wedding, anniversary or memorial. For further details visit Collins Bar in Kealkill or www.carriganasscastle.com
There are lots of interesting places to visit nearby including the Kealkill Stone Circle, Carriganass Castle, Future Forests and Gougane Barra.
