πŸ’šπŸ’›The Hidden Boardwalk Ards Forest Park πŸ’šπŸ’›
There are so many trails and walks at Ards Forest Park, it makes for a lovely family day out. There’s toilets, picnic benches, a playground for the kids and not forgetting the coffee and treats from Ards Coffee Tree

Located just a few kilometres from Dunfanaghy on the N56 towards Creeslough is Ards Forest Park. This beautiful forest park is run by Coillte, an Irish state-owned forest company, and a small fee applies to enter by car or some people decide to walk in and enjoy the various trails on offer.

With breath-taking coastal scenery, beautiful woodland trails, rivers, lakes and megalithic tombs, Ards Forest Park is easily one of the most beautiful and varied of Ireland's forest parks with trees down to the water's edge. Hike through beautiful woodlands, explore golden beaches, sand dunes and saltwater lakes in Ards Forest Park, Co Donegal. It’s one of the most unique forest walks in Donegal.
Ards Forest Park is the perfect place for a family day out. There is an excellent children's playground, designed in keeping with the surroundings, as well as several picnic tables. The beaches along the shore with golden sand are ideal for paddling and swimming.

You will receive a very warm welcome in County Donegal and along the Wild Atlantic Way.
