For centuries is was a wooded shelter for rebels and bandits, When Cromwell planted seized the Norman and Irish Strongholds, this woodland became part of a new estate, under the ownership of Earl Stopford, Lord of Courtown.

During his time, he planted 400 rare and unusual species of trees, he oversaw the building of Ballinatray Bridge and the construction of Courtown Harbour. This is a tour like no other!
