I am at Derrymore most weeks, it has beautiful woodlands to enjoy moderate distance walks. The house is unusual and interesting, there are a few panels with historical information to read, and in the spring lots of beautiful bulbs. There's a play park for children and toilets.
Such a gem of a place for a walk and explore with little ones. Quiet playground alternative to the busy Slieve Gullion one. Walks are just the right length for toddlers and small kids. Playground is sheltered from winds and lovely. Magical colours in Autumn.
I hadn't heard of this place even when a national trust member. Spacious grounds,woodland walk, children's playground which blended into the surroundings and toilets which while clean and modern lacked loo roll...it was a Monday morning. No cafe but we stopped for a cuppa on the way and brought a picnic. We'll worth a visit.
Derrymore House and woodland walk and medieval rath are well worth taking the time to stop and see. The house dates from the 1770's and the Parkland is full of nature and good for a brisk walk or even a run. Weekday mornings are lovely when you get it nearly to yourself and plenty of parking and dog friendly. Can't believe it took me so long to visit this beautiful place and I'll be back!
Cute little place - perfect for a lunch stop. It is a small venue with planned walks and external views of the house itself. The only facilities are parking and toilets. There was a coffee van there on the weekend day l visited but l don't know if that is always open. The grounds include the remains of an old fort. Lots of locals visiting - there is a dog park there too.
