Corrog Wood

A pleasant woodland stroll. We visited on a sunny late summer afternoon and walked along all the various paths. The overall length of the walk is reasonably short. The trees are quite mature and were in full bloom. I have never seen so many Ladybirds in my life and this made the visit all the better. We also saw lots of butterflies, for example, Peacocks, Red Admirals and Speckled Woods. There were helpful and interesting information boards around the wood The parking was free. The paths are gravel. There are no amenities. We saw no dog fouling an no litter which was nice. I would recommend this walk if you either live locally or are visiting nearby.

Corrog Wood is located just north of Portaferry and has lovely little woodland walks through it. It's was planted in 2000 and has oak, rowan, hazel and scots pine trees. I followed the red and blue marked paths and got around the woods in 15 minutes. The Stoney Ridge information board shows the best walking routes. It's hilly in places, but has good paths. There's a small parking area beside the woods that would take about 6 cars.

Nice place for a dander! Main A20 is within earshot but out of sight. Simple loop around with a couple of wee sub-loops back to the entrance gate. Room to park maybe half a dozen cars and if you need a rest there are a good number of benches. All-in-all a nice place to spend a couple of gentle hours.

Hidden jem of a wood. Small but beautiful. The perfect place for a good walk with the dog.

I visited here because the tyre on my trailer blew out due to a pothole up the road a bit. Fantastic car park to do an emergency wheel change

Excellent walk, especially for kids who enjoy folklorish stories. It would take around 15 minutes to walk around but it's worth it. Various tree barks and stones have plaques with stories and poems. The wood carving Lily as you enter looks fantastic and has her own unique tale. My 1 and 4 year old enjoyed the walk immensely. A perfect sized nature walk for both of them to walk and take in the mysterious woods! The fairy ring at the end was a pleasant surprise and added to the mystic. Definitely worth a visit.

The path through this small, young wood has been newly extended and given an all weather surface. It now takes about fifteen minutes to complete the circular walk from the car park, longer if you stop to appreciate the distant views from the higher points of the track. Well worth a brief stroll.

A great area for quick walks with the dog. There are a few different trails through the still developing woodland.Playground: NoPublic restrooms: NoOff-leash dog area: YesPicnic tables: YesBarbecue grills: No

My first visit to Corrog Wood was a quick one due to time restraints. It is a very pleasant stroll through lovely mature young trees, bursting with lucious green foliage. A lovely place for a short walk and quiet contemplation.En route, there is a small circular area boundaried by large stone set into the earth where one can sit, picnic, play, giving a safe boundary for gathering together and play. Also some good informative 'plates' at the entrance. Very nice indeed.

Sad to say the beauty of corrog wood has been destroyed by new ugly pathways cutting through what once was nature trail. Pity as this was a wonderful walk. What a shame there is even what looks like a road through the stone circle. Woodland trust ???
