Kilmoylan Loop

Enjoy a peaceful looped walk through the leafy surrounds of Kilmoylan Woods, starting and finishing in Doon Village, Co. Limerick.

This easy, family-friendly trail follows a mix of footpath, maintained gravel paths, farmland edges and forestry, offering a lovely opportunity to slow down and enjoy local nature and biodiversity. Along the route, walkers can discover a variety of mini habitats, including 16 species of trees and shrubs, 6 species of bumblebee, and many butterflies and insects.

The walk is mostly level, making it suitable for a range of fitness levels, as well as a great option for families, nature lovers and trail runners. Approximately halfway along the route, the path crosses a small local river, where seating is available.
