Tomnafinnoge Wood is just a few minutes drive from the cottage and is the last surviving fragment of the great Coollattin Woods which once clothed the hills and valleys of south Wicklow. This ancient woodland will bring you back in time. Giant Oak trees dominate but you will encounter plenty more trees and plants on these walks. There are four different walks of varying distance. Most popular is the River Walk of 2km (4km both ways) and the Beech Walk. Shorter walks are the Oak Walk, 3.2km, and the Hazel walk, only 1.3km. This is an ideal walk suitable for all the family.
