Guided walks through Courtown woods with Folklore stories and Foraging advise from Lorraine. 

Across the European Union on average most countries have 33.5% of their land under forest. In Ireland, it is only 11%. Of that 11% only a measly 2% is native forest. Of that 2% only a shocking 0.02% is ancient woodland.
Courtown Woodland is ancient woodland.

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.

But it was the 5th Earl, who we have to thank for the woodlands today. 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! More akin to a rambling workshop as you discover a whole new world under the leafy canopy of an Irish native and ancient Woodland
