The Loop of Lahille and Loughaun ( 4.7 km, 1.5 hours, moderate, red) is a good way to get an overview of the forest, bog restoration and adjoining lands. Starting in Sopwell Woodlands, an old woodland site, the walk passes through the townlands of Lahile and Loughaun (an Lochán), a diverse landscape of woodlands, bog and boreen. A footbridge over the Silver Stream leads to Scohaboy Bog LIFE site, a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), home to a unique tapestry of peatland life. A portion of the Ormonde Way, a long distance National Waymarked Way also passes through Sopwell.
