Description
The great outdoors enthusiast can visit Cappanalea Outdoor Education Centre, which offers a variety of adventure sports for all ages. Nearby Killorglin is well worth a visit. Here you can sample a pint of Guinness or if you’re feeling peckish, dine in one of the many fine restaurants, where seafood is always a speciality.
Guests can enjoy a nature trail through Blackstones Native Oakwood. The woodland is entirely within Killarney National Park, the McGillicuddy Reeks and Caragh Lake catchment. There is a mixed age canopy dominated by bessile oak. There is also Birch, Holly, and ground layer species are well represented. The woodland is bound on both sides by the upper and small Caragh Rivers. In 2005 we committed to protect this very special part of our natural heritage by placing 21.18 hectares of woodland in the Native Woodland Scheme. This scheme is dedicated to enhancing existing nature woodlands as Blackstones Wood.
