An Avenue of Cedars

The avenue leading into Tollymore Forest Park in Co. Down must be one of the best known sights of Northern Ireland’s forests.

The two rows of lovely Deodar Cedar with their various shapes of trunk and branches provide a grand approach to Tollymore, most visited of all the forest parks. As the avenue of cedars ends, there is a road junction beside which stands what is probably the largest of Tollymore’s oak trees, just 20’ in girth.

There are other fine oaks, with beeches and ancient yews, throughout the woodland down by the Shimna River, and more fine yews by the car park, in the arboretum and beside the exit road – no shortage of them!
