Beleek Woods

Beleek Woods are situated just off the Killala Road on the banks of the River Moy. It was part of the estate of Beleek Castle (which is now a hotel).
The woodland was quite overgrown but extensive work is being done to bring Beleek back to its former glory.
There are many trails for walking and cycling.
Many locals use it for sports training or walking their dogs.
There are some lovely view of the River Moy and the pretty houses on the other side of the river.
there is an abundance of wildlife in Beleek. There are red squirels in the woods. I heard them but did not see them. However I did spot some bluetits bringing food back to their young in one of the nesting boxes in the trees.
Also in the woods is a Lime Kiln and an amazing memorial to one of the owners of the castle who is buried there with his horses!
A really nice place to spend some time if the day is fine. Pack a picnic :-)
