Rath Wood Forest Walks extend over 4 kilometres and were carefully designed at Rathwood to include a short leisurely wheelchair accessible walk to a pond and a longer looped ‘Molloy Walk’ with seating at regular intervals. This forest is a valuable and rewarding educational tool, given the vast ecological resources of flora, wildlife and tree species contained within its 185 acre boundaries. Rath Wood offers a sanctuary for many mammals, birds and insect species. Expect to see deer, rabbits, mink, foxes, pheasants and dragonflies among others. The forest contains a great variety of tree species including beech, oak, sitka spruce, Norway spruce, birch, Douglas fir and alder. Take a pleasant stroll across the natural beauty of Rath Wood and discover a landscape rich in geology, archaeology and wild life.

Train rides around the forest are available from Rathwood. Visitors can also enjoy a stroll through the Maze of Ireland.

The historical feature of Rathgall Hillfort which dates back to 800 B.C. is located nearby. Call into Rathwood’s Fáilte Ireland visitor information point for a forest map, brochures on Rathgall and surrounding tourist attractions.

Visit Rathwood  Garden Centre and enjoy a look around their Garden Centre, Fashion Centre, Play Ark Centre, Maize of Ireland, Deer Park and the Express Train and finish with refreshments at The Wood Shed Cafe or The Merry Tree Restaurant for a variety of refreshments to suit all your needs.
