Built in 1547, Kinbane Castle is almost 500 years old and is a stunning site. With the waves crashing against the rocks below it makes for a rugged picnic spot!

The majestic Breen Forest covers an area of 600 hectares. A wide path leads you through the forest amongst beautiful native oak within a mainly coniferous woodland of maturing spruce, larch and pine.
