A dramatic coastal forest

This forest fringes Luce Bay, a sweep of shore where bombers practised during World War II. Part of the bay is still used as a firing range. Yet, you’ll find a peaceful path through the trees to the wonderfully named Ringdoo Point. The route is not waymarked, but the main forest track is easy to follow.

The dunes, sandbanks and seabed in the bay are rich in wildlife and protected as a Special Area of Conservation. Bring your binoculars to watch for seabirds, especially in autumn and winter. Read the leaflet to find out more.
