We decided to head over to Derrycassin woods for a quick stroll after the promised storm failed to materialise. However, as we were heading over the rain started and it just got wetter and wetter as we headed on. Still, as we’d gone for the spin, we decided to put our coats on and tough it out.

Derrycassin is a state-owned forest on a former estate and there are still quite a few bits of the old estate left even if the great house is all but obliterated. This bridge has been quite nicely restored recently.

Further in, we come across this odd curved wall that was once part of the walled garden.

It was really lashing rain for most of the walk although the forest cover spared us from the worst of it. It was quite a pleasant walk but we did cut it short just a bit thanks to the pouring rain. I didn’t measure but I would think we managed about 4 km for the walk.
