Killegy Woods

Killegy Woods loop is a rewarding, atmospheric 5km trail through the woods on the fringes of Killarney National Park. It is fair to say that it is one of the lesser known trails around Killarney but don’t let that put you off. Once you leave the main road and head into the trees, you will know you have found a special place. Killegy Woods is a varied trail with a steady rise through tall forests before levelling out into less dense woodland. It is quite an enclosed trail and it is all about the woods – you are enveloped by trees at all times. Only the road at the start and finish give a glimpse into the real world that waits outside the woods.
