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. The walks will take place on our established and fully Sport Ireland accredited trails. The trails are mainly graded as moderate and are suitable for people with a moderate level of fitness but care is required. Good outdoor walking footwear, suitable clothing and snacks/drinks are all recommended. This month we head to Taghmon and Brownscastle Woods. Save the Date and Enjoy Getting Active

A beautiful meandering walk through an established coniferous woodland. Along the way you will arrive at St Munna’s Bed which is a large flat rock that protrudes from the side of the valley. It is believed that St. Munna, who founded a monastery in Taghmon in about 597, rested here as a retreat during the summer months. Lying on this rock is reputed to help with back aches and pains which is something believers still do to this day.
Keep an eye out for trout in the nearby river. During the day, the sounds of birds singing fill the woods. Usually not visible in daylight, but also frequenting these woods are badgers, foxes, pine martins and squirrels. A wonderful woodland experience.
The Coffee Shop in Taghmon Village Square will be open on Sunday so please drop in for a cuppa and a treat!
