Curragh Chase Forest Park

Curraghchase Forest Park the bridge and River County Limerick Ireland

There are over 300 hectares of rolling parkland, trails, mixed woodland, lakes and an arboretum at Curragh Chase. This planned landscape was the former home of the de Vere family, the most notable being Sir Aubrey de Vere who was a poet and an author. The façade of the former grand house sits proud on the hill overlooking the main car park and man-made lake. There are many wonderful features of the de Vere estate dotted around the Park for you to find, including; the impressive arboretum, a pet cemetery and a memorial cross.

For the nature lover, there are a number of Special Areas of Conservation (SAC’s) in the park, largely due to the presence of the Lesser Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus hipposideros). The hawfinch, a rare bird on Irish soils has frequently been seen at Curragh Chase, this bird appreciates the many hornbeam trees to be found within the Park. Coillte is currently involved in restoring native woodlands within important pockets in the park, including a native Yew woodland. Ducks and an array of waterfowl live and waddle in the area on and around the lake.

There is ample to do and see for an enjoyable day at Curragh Chase for all ages.

To dark to see forest. Curragh Chase Forest Park.

Just a short evening trip to Curragh Chase Forest Park. Hoped to see forest but instead ended up hunting stars at 7PM :) My camera is almost blind at this point but still weather was great and it was unusual to go around the forest in darkness with the phone in hand just to see where are you going :D

At the Park - Dublin Road, Limerick, Ireland [720p]

It's only in 720p not 1080 Full HD because i lost my SD card data from the drone and could not recover files. It's a video i recorded through wi-fi transmission from the drone into my cell phone. (DJi app record it automatically) The quality of video depend from quality of WI-FI reception at current time but I think it's quite good quality. At least I have it in this quality from that backup video. The moment when drone was very high the video ha lower quality because of weaker signal.
Recorded at O'Brien's Park, Dublin Street, Limerick, Ireland on 10th of August 2018 using DJi Spark drone.
