Itinerary description
Balrath Wood (also known locally as Knockcomra) was once part of the larger Somerville estate. It was a fine example of mixed broadleaf woodland. Some of the original trees still remain but most of this 50 acre (20 hectare) wood was replanted in 1969 with a number of species including oak, beech, ash and spruce. Currently it can be described as mixed conifer/broadleaf woodland. The Tree Council of Ireland and Meath County Council are now responsible for the woodland management and the upkeep of the wood as a place that everyone can learn from and enjoy.
