COUNTRY CONNECTS WALK AT BROWNSCASTLE WOODS, TAGHMON

Country Connects – Brownscastle Woods, Taghmon

Wexford Walking Trails together with Wexford Country Council, Healthy Wexford and the Irish Farmer’s Association are inviting you to get outdoors and explore some of Wexford’s fabulous country trails.  All walks are well established and are fully Sport Ireland accredited trails.  This is categorised as an EASY walk but strong footwear and waterproofs are recommended.  ALL walkers are welcome to come along and join in the fun!

Heading out of Taghmon Village along quiet country roads, we will arrive at the beautiful meandering trail located in Brownscastle Woods.  Our walk will take us  us through an established coniferous woodland and along by the River Aughnagroagh, a tributary of the Corock River which begins life up on the Forth Mountain.    We will hear the story of St Munna who founded a monastery in Taghmon in about 597.  St Munna’s Bed, where he rested during the summer months, is reputed to help with back aches and pains which is something believers still do to this day.  There are facilities close by and lots of choices after the walk to enjoy a coffee, a snack or a lovely lunch.

 RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Bring a fully charged mobile smartphone to take part in Country Connects Captures 
• Wear suitable clothing and comfortable footwear suitable for walking outdoors.
• Bring water and a snack with you.
