Geocache Description:

Please note new coordinates are N 52 47.425 and W 006 27.339.
Approaching Tinahely from Aughrim, turn left onto R747. Turn left after the petrol station on the left hand side of the road and Kilcommon car park is located on the left after approximately 0.5km

The Old Railway Walk traverses a section of the Woodenbridge to Shillelagh Railway Line which was closed in 1964. In 1965, the land ownership was transferred abck to the original landowners and gradually this isolated corridor of land was colonised by the adjacent hedgerow species and became closed off from the outside world. In 2005, with the permission of the landowners, a trail was developed along a section of the track from Kilcommon toGreenhall Bridge by the Tinahely Area Development Association in co-operation with other local partners.

This peaceful linear woodland trail can be enjoyed by all the family and offers wonderful views out into the surrounding fields and farmland of Tinahely. Two magnificent stone railway bridges mark the start and finish points, providing an appropriate introduction walk. The trail itself is rich with an abundance of flora and fauna and a large section is cateorised as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The walk crosses the Derry River over a wooden footbridge not farw from KIlcommon Bridge and follows its course to the famous oak woods at Tomnafinnogue.

Each season offers a unique walking experience; from rich arpets of bluebell in spring to lusg green summer vegetation, ripe with blackberry and crab apple and sloe in autumn in stark contrast to the bare silhouettes of winter. This trail provides a safe, off road access route to Tomnafinnogue.
