Lough Boora Parklands

This pleasant walk links Tumduff beag and Tumduff Mor wetlands. It begins opposite Loch an Dochais at the Boora road (R357) end of Tumduff beag. The path runs alongside Tumduff wetland, through coniferous forestry and farmland before emerging at Tumduff Mor wetland.

The rough gravel path is in good condition and is suitable for all age groups. The walk measures a kilometre and a half in each direction and takes approximately an hour.

Things to look out for:

In spring the yellow dandelion-like Coltsfoot blooms along the pathway, while Tufted duck, Lapwing and Grebe begin breeding on the wetlands. Look out for Black headed gulls, which can be seen nesting on tree stumps in the middle of Tumduff beag lake.

Purple Moor grass

In summer the path is lined with Purple Moor grass, which turns golden brown in autumn and from which Meadow pipits, Skylarks and Hares are regularly flushed. Also look out for the Monterey pines along the Tumduff beag end of the path - their large pinecones are attached throughout the year.
