H763959

Finish Point:
H763959

Route:
The walk is an easy stroll and comprises of a stoned pathway among native and coniferous woodland. Follow the green and yellow waymarkers from the car park, completing the walk in an anticlockwise direction. The walk commences in the car park of the Derrynoid Centre (Closed). Derrynoid Lodge was home to the notorious hanging judge, Judge Torrens. The former Rural College was built on the site of the outbuildings, coach houses and stables of the country house. Although the buildings and centre are now closed the grounds remain open to the public. The route makes for an easy stroll on forest paths with no obstacles or difficult sections. The walk forms a loop and can be extended to take in another 0.9 miles of woodland, the Derrynoyd River Trail. Walkers can also park at the start of the River Trail to access both routes, for a figure of 8 walk, 2.3 miles in length.
