Tree trunks way
A lovely woodland walk amongst magnificent old trees in the National forest of Tomnafinnoge Woods, County Wicklow, Ireland.
“Tomnafinnoge Woods is the last surviving fragment of the great Oak Woods of Tinahely, which once clothed the hills and valleys of south Wicklow, Ireland. As early as 1444 these woods supplied timber for the construction of King's College, Cambridge, and later for Westminster Abbey, St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin and Trinity College, Dublin. In 1634, the woods were estimated to cover 'more than many thousand acres', but from then on they were heavily exploited especially for shipbuilding.
Today the woods are owned and protected by the Irish State. They are included in the Slaney River Valley candidate Special Area of Conservation.[2] A tributary of the Slaney, the River Derry flows through the woods. This is one of the best places in Ireland to see the great spotted woodpecker, which has recently recolonised the country.“ (Wikipedia)
