The walk

The blue-marked arboretum path is a short introduction to Tollymore’s tree collection. A gentle gradient makes it a different outing from the park’s longer hillside trails.

Underfoot

Firm paths with some loose material and gentle slopes. Ask the park about current suitability for your mobility needs.
