Refurbishment of traditional walking trails through the Woodstock Estate in Inistioge have opened up the beautiful area to visitors.


Many kilometers of walkways have been reopened to the public in the last four years, thanks to funding under the ORIS (Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme).
Work on the Ladies Loop and the Woodstock Loop began in 2018 and this has opened up 3.5km of paths.


In 2020/21 work was done to uncover a path to the Brownsford Stream area that had been lost for decades. This added 2km to walkable pathways.
Another 3.25km of paths will include a pedestrian bridge and spectacular views of the waterfall.
