Description by the author

What Peaceful and beautiful, this remote spot has long been a favourite with local families. The most popular route is the 3km Lake Loop, which circumnavigates Castle Lake along verdant, buggy-friendly trails. The lough itself is ever-present, and there are historic sites too, such as the memorial to those who died at Rebel Hill in 1798. For a longer outing, add a side-trip onto Castle Loop, which explores the southern part of the forest and visits the ruins of 17th-century Bailieborough Castle.

Start/Finish at Castle Lake Forest car park

Getting there Take the N3 to Virginia, then follow the R178 northeast through Bailieborough. Turn left at Lakeland Dairies to the forest entrance 1.5km later.

Level Easy - signposted forest tracks with 30m or 150m ascent.

Length/Time 3.5 or 6.5km /1 or 2 hours

Pack A route map from IrishTrails.ie, and wellies so kids can dip their toes in the lake.
