A great place of relaxation taking you far from the noise of the human world. Even on a dull rainy day you can hear the woods is alive as its getting greener with every raindrop...

Nice place to be with Nature. You can actually immerse yourself in nature here as it is not very crowded and provides alternative routes which are secluded and gives you privacy be on your own while trekking. There is a cafe on the entrance which I believe opens on weekends. My only grief is regarding the lack of proper parking here. If that could be sorted then this could turn into a major attraction!..

A wonderful facility close to the city, with varied selection of paths. The main paths are gravel surfaced and suitable for all. Several other paths to choose from, which branch of the surfaced paths in all direction. The topography of the area means to can choose steeper paths if you wish to burn off a few extra calories, or just meander along, closer to the streams that run through the woods. Excellent variety, for walking dogs or just a breath of fresh air!!

I used Google Maps and I was both to a pathway and parked here. The walkway down to the woods is rough and uninteresting. Alot could be done to address the ambiance of the area. There is a deep decline down and of course then a steep incline on the way back. The woods, once you get down are lovely and lovely to hear water flowing. Paths are muddy and full of leaves so watch you footing. Maybe you could park at Garryduff Sports Complex. Not wheelchair friendly

I was told to get off the land. It is private property, so I would not advise people to go there. It was just me and my 3 kids looking for a nice walk.

This is an interesting place. It provides an excellent walk through a variety of paths with different terrain. Id recommend hiking boots of going off track as the paths tended to be seriously muddy in places. The wall lacks any decent sign posting but you can get the information you need by asking walkers if you meet them. The trek tends to rise up a moderately steep hill and doubles back on a lower loop near a delightful stream. Parking at the start of the trail is very limited and this might be a problem on a busy day as the trail starts near a moan road and there will be nowhere to leave your car. The walk could be greatly improved with a few wooden seated areas at selected points, some signposting and a few information/map stations. The forest feels old and authentic and Im looking forward to exploring it again. Kids 6+ should manage the trail easily enough.Unfortunately, the somewhat beautiful and old forest has been desecrated and all that is left where once was lush forest, are stumps and what looks like a wasteland after a nuclear explosion.

The top part of the woods is being cut down due, to the many of the trees being wind damaged but, they are being replanted so all is good.

Great facility so near to Douglas and not well known. Large area of woodlands with a number of paths. Some are fairly level, others more hilly. Wear good walking shoes especially if its been wet. One entrance is near Garryduff sports grounds. Theres also a right of way from the corner half way up Monastery Road, along part of the drive of Oldcourt (locals ignore the sign at the gateand then right into the first obvious wide path.

Its great to spend a Sunday or just a day off outside or far away from the crowd. We really need to breath fresh air now more than ever since we spend at least more than half of ours days indoors. Gurryduff woods is a nice place for that.
