Dalgan Park (Part Two) The River Walk
This is Part Two of one of the Most Beautiful Places on Earth is The River Walk in Dalgan Park in Navan Co. Meath Ireland.
Dalgan Park is Home of the Columban Fathers and they allow the Public Access to the Walk for most of the year.
You will see many Squirrels, Rabbits and even the odd Fox.
Unfortunately the new M3 Motorway cuts through some of the Park and it will certainly change things but we hope not too much.
