RICHMOND ESKER RESERVE

The walk at Richmond Esker Nature Reserve brings you through one of the few esker ridges left in the country and which still carries native woodland. The walk provides a great opportunity to see wild shrubs and animals through the woodland habitat.

Richmond Esker is a stated owned nature reserve, run by the national parks and wildlife service. Along with Timahoe Esker Nature Reserve, it is one of the few esker ridges left in the country, which still carry native woodland. Although the park has been extensively planted with conifers and other exotic species it is planned to expand the native woodland using appropriate management techniques.

The nature reserve offers a peaceful stroll through woodland area, with the chance to see unique flora and fauna throughout.
