Clogrennane Woods

This looped walk visits Clogrennane Woods near the town of Carlow in County Carlow.
The woods are located a few miles south west of Carlow in a pleasant rural spot.
In the woods there are some peaceful walking trails with picnic areas and lots of pretty bluebells to see in the spring months.
The walk can be started from the parking area at the southern end of the woods, just off the L7133.
The area has had continuous forestry cover since the 1800s and is predominantly composed of beech, spruce, larch, and oak trees. Visitors often flock to the woods in the spring to see the forest floor covered in bluebells or to experience the scent of wild garlic, while other seasons bring a variety of ferns, mushrooms, and herb rocket....
You can continue your walking in the area on the Carlow River Barrow Walk.
