We used to visit Portumna Woods, which is what we used to call it, regularly as children. It was so…read moremuch fun and to us there was only the one walk, marked out with numbered stumps that we use to race each other to reach first.
Today its the same but different. The one walk is not how I remember and there are no numbered stumps. But there are new path signs and many more walks, all of different distances and cycling as well as walking is encouraged.
The weather on this occasion was fabulous, clear blue skies and a blazing sun, for February it was as good as it could get. But its not always sunny, the last time I was there in January it was milling rain. But it was still great.
The trees, the deer (if you are lucky), the water fowl and the lake, this place is really enchanting.
There are toilet facilities by the carpark, both of which are free. How good is that!
