With a series of woodland trails to explore, each offering stunning views across Limerick’s lush countryside, Liskennett Woods is the perfect spot to get fresh air and reconnect with nature.
Lying on a low hill that is part of the same range as nearby Knockfierna, the trail is steep at the beginning, but can be enjoyed by walkers of all ages.
Liskennett Woods is home to many tree varieties including Douglas fir, oak and birch and also features a number of archaeological monuments, most notably a holy well and ringfort.
