The Donadea Forest Park is definitrely worth a visit. A little more than 5 mins. drive away, and it's a lovely walk. You will find many different paths to explore, and if you're there on the weekend, their little cafe/kiosk might even be open!

Great day out at any time of the year. Have a picnic and enjoy the forest or stop for a coffee in the coffee shop.

Donadea Castle and estate was the old home of the Aylmer family up until 1935 when the last member of the family Miss Caroline died. It is a National Heriatge Area. There are many historical features including the remains of the castle and walled gardens, St. Peter’s church, an ice house and boat house. The Lime tree avenue planted in the 19th century formed the original entrance to the estate. Another feature of the park is the 9/11 Memorial, a scaled replica of the twin towers carved in limestone. The small lake is brimming with ducks, waterhens and has a beautiful display of water lilies in the summer.There is a cafe open throughout the year.
