Portumna Forest Park — Attraction in County Galway

Portumna Forest Park in County Galway is a beautiful, peaceful spot for a family outing. The wide woodland and grassy glades feel very serene.

There are lots of trails for walking and biking throughout the park of varying lengths through the woods With so much open space, kids love zipping around or kicking a ball on the grass between trails.
