Where will you find yourself this Wednesday? Time for a little ?

This is a pleasant countryside loop that takes you to Ballyscanlon Lake. Parts of this trail may be overgrown in certain seasons so long pants are advised. It's an easy-going route that is suitable for most abilities, so a wonderful opportunity to get outdoors. Some parts can get rather muddy during wetter months, so best to come prepared with appropriate footwear and layers for full enjoyment. Discover this 2.4-km out-and-back trail near Dunhill, County Waterford. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 34 min to complete.

Ballyscanlon Forest is one of the forests in Tramore Forest. It is location 6.5km west of Tramore on the road to Dungarvan in County Waterford. The site overlooks Ballyscanlon Lake and the Comeragh and Monavillagh from a distant back-drop.

Wednesday walk time is here again, and the weather is changeable as ever so be prepared!

This takes is to an important piece of monastic history, Molana abbey.
By the 12th century Molana abbey was re-established as an Augustinian Priory by Raymond le Gros FitzGerald, who tradition holds was buried here. Interestingly in 1450 Molana was at the centre of a scandal. Pope Nicholas V compiled a mandate for the investigation of claims that the Prior of Molana John McInery, was guilty of simony, prejury and immorality..The abbey was suppressed in 1541 and fell into the hands of Sir Water Raleigh. By the 19th century the abbey was in possession of the Smyth family and was a focal point on their estate, with their stunning Georgian mansion looking across at the ruins.

Today the sites consists of a number of ruined buildings that date to the late 12th /13th century. The buildings included a church, monastic buildings and a cloister all built of a red sandstone, which gives the site a lovely warm feeling .

Getting there: Travel from Dungarvan towards Youghal on the N25. When you reach Youghal Bridge cross it and turn right immediately, signposted the ‘The Scenic Route’, this road runs parallels to the Blackwater. The first right turn leads onto a short narrow lane beside which is the ruin of the medieval castle of Rhinecrew, built by the Knights Templar, together with an old church and graveyard. Here these is a small car park you can leave the car. Continue on foot and on the right you will see wide brick pillars, which lead to the estate of Ballynatray. There is access through the estate to the ‘island’ of Molana Abbey, now joined to the mainland by a causeway, built in 1806 by Grice Smyth. Visitors are welcome to Molana Abbey from Easter to October 1st, Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. Please be mindful of traffic and ongoing works.
