"It's a lovely spot for a walk. Family friendly, but dogs must be kept on a lead. The paths are good, and there is even a fairy trail. Situated beside the River Moy and one part of the Belleek Castle estate. There are plenty of picnic benches around and loads of different trails, so take a map with you, they are situated at the start of the fairy trail. I would like to go back and walk a different route this time as I missed a few pieces of interest. I look forward to going back."
"Nice forest walk within few minutes drive from Ballina. Recommended to visit. Family friendly. Dogs friendly."
"A lovely tranquil walk and explore through the Belleek Woods, ideal for dogs ( must be kept on a lead ) or with the family. A great trail of wooden houses attached to the trees to keep the kids entertained whilst on a walk - see pictures. Full of history and interesting facts which gorgeous scenery in every direction. A very clean and tidy place with wildlife singing from the trees, a great place to clear your head and de-stress. Belleek Woods is a 4.7 kilometer lightly trafficked loop trail located near Ballina, County Mayo, Ireland that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, running, and nature trips. More than two million trees were planted by the Knox Gore family in the 19th century, mostly Oak, Beech, Ash, Sycamore, Chestnut, Lime, Willow and Yew, many of which are still growing there and can be admired. Such a lovely place and if your close by I would recommend a visit."
"Belleek Woods is a lovely walk. Lots of picnic areas and points of interest. Most of the trail is an easy walk. First time walkers will need to keep an eye on the map as there is many paths and it gets confusing at times to keep a track on location. It can get very crowded."
