Florencecourt-Glen Wood Trail
Rambling through Florencecourt takes you through widely contrasting natural habitats as well as the formal grounds of the 18th century Georgian mansion, – well worth exploring.

Nearest Towns: Florencecourt
Distance: 5 miles (8km) Circular
Points of Interest: Classical style mansion and formal grounds

There are 3 waymarked trails of varying length, all starting from the Forest Park car park. Shortest and most gentle, the Lady’s Well Trail 1.2 miles (2km) skirts the parkland in front of the mansion. The Yew Tree Trail 2 miles (3.3km) incorporates the Florencecourt Yew, mother plant of Irish Yews found throughout the British Isles and beyond. The Glen Wood Trail 5 miles (8km) is more strenuous, taking ramblers deeper into the forest and offering panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. The route follows the Finglass River, enters the Glen Wood Nature Reserve, continues through the Deer Park, re-entering The National Trust demesne, where walkers have an opportunity to explore the mansion house, sawmill, ice and summer houses, and gardens before returning to the car park. The Killymanamley Circular Walk starts in The National Trust car park and is an 1800m path suitable for wheelchairs. These walks are situated in a working forest environment and may be subject to diversion and closure from time to time.
