Bunclody – Coolmelagh Walking Trail

Coolmelagh Forrest, near Bunclody, has three waymarked looped trails that climb to Gibbet Hill. Gibbet is an old English name for Hanging Hill. This hints to a place of execution. Here beautiful views meant that, no matter what your crime, your last sight on earth was heavenly.

The trails, which are on forest roads, all rise with a steady climb close to the top of Gibbet Hill with breathtaking views on offer.
