IRISH WOLFHOUND SOCIETY OF IRELAND

Sunday April 22, 2007, Doneraile, Co. Cork --  Walk Photo Gallery

It's a long way to Tipperary, and an even longer way for some who came to our Society Walk in the grounds of Doneraile Park in County Cork. I think John and Lauren with Plato from Belfast were the clear winners of the "Furthest Away and Longest Journey" prize. If we had a prize for this that is....

We all met at midday on Sunday 22nd April, on the warmest April day in many years. Although it had rained considerably the previous night and Paula, who lives near Doneraile Park, warned me to bring wet weather gear, we could not have asked for a better day! Anne really has a strong connection to whoever is behind providing us with good weather :)(Continued at Photo Gallery)

Doneraile Wildlife Park (Cork)

The Park comprises approximately 166 hectares and is an outstanding example of an 18th century landscaped park in the 'Capability Brown' style. Mature groves of deciduous trees, several restored water features and a number of deer herds can be viewed along the many pathways within the Park. The pathways are generally accessible for people with special needs. Doneraile Court, the former residence of the St. Leger family, is situated within the Park. It will be opened to the public in the future, following completion of necessary restoration and safety works.
