Any good walking trails in / around Nenagh that are dog on lead friendly?
Normally go to killaloe but looking for other closer options.

The nenagh river walk. Walk from Dublin road bridge past abbey court all the way to Ballyanny...over 9km in total but you can return back to town at any bridge. Nice walk, the first two parts as far as meat plant are along a riverside track and then the rest through farmland.

Am curious about this. Where do you pick up the trail beyond the meat factory? I looked for it last time I was there and could only see a couple of fields which were too wet to negotiate without boots. Also the patch by Birr Rd bridge was totally unpassable.

Knocknacree Woods near Cloughjordan is a lovely spot for a walk

How long ago..
It was fine all this summer?

At meat plant cross the road then cross over the bridge...you are now on Borrisokane side of bridge opposite the meat plant. There is a stile here, hop over and you are now on an older bridge...walk back over, you are now back on nenagh side and there is another stile going into the field. You can walk from here to Hanley's mills and past that to next bridge at Anabeg.
At this time of the year the very last section is prone to flooding, as is the rest when elsewhere is flooded.
What about Castlelough woods or Portumna Forest

Sorry reread your reply...yes you need boots in winter

It was just a couple of weeks ago while I was visiting relatives in the area. We did cross both the stiles opposite the meat factory, but didn’t see any immediate access to the river bank and field was too wet to go very far down. Must have another look next time I’m there.

Seems to me there is potential in that trail but perhaps they need to spend some more money on it?

Thanks for all the ideas here.  I will get the boots on a take a walk at the weekend.

I walk along this trail at least once a week in summer. If you have a car drive to Hanley's mills in Ballycommon and park at the weir car park and walk the trail back up river...definitely the nicest section in my opinion.

Edited to add that its always wet in winter and even in summer you have to walk through/across a stream on this section.

Looks like the Nenagh Credit Union is going to merge into the Thurles Credit Union subject to members vote Monday 5th March

Check your Eircode here: http://fibrerollout.ie/

Eir will also process pre-orders from now. but think only for existing Eir customers.

Good bit of building activity in the town centre st the moment which is nice to see. Sheahans and Joeys on Martyrs road are both progressing well.

Lewis Lane connecting Silver St to John's Lane Car park is getting a badly needed face lift.

Supermacs is getting a total interior upgrade upstairs and down.

Be near enough to 12 months before that's finished. Badly wanted though, Banba Square isn't suitable for that type of business anymore and when the RTM plan kicks in it would multiply the difficulty ten fold.

Can anybody please tell me how to get to Keeper Hill starting point from Nenagh? I'm hoping to climb the mountain this BH weekend.
By the way, I'll be cycling from Nenagh.
Many thanks.

Head to Killoscully and should be signs from there. All depends on what way you want to go to Killoscully then.

The Lost Sheep is correct, you have to go via Killoscully.

Your route from Nenagh will be via Benedine-Shallee-Killoscully and follow the signs from there.

Stick Nenagh to Doonane Forest Carpark into Google Maps and you'll be sorted.

Thanks jprboy and The Lost Sheep.
Seems like a straightforward enough cycle to get there.
I'd say about an hour and a half on a bike from where I'm living,but that's child's play to me because I love my cycling.

Hi,

Does anyone know of, or can recommend, someone who can supply and operate a mini-digger for some landscaping works in the nenagh area?

Thanks.

Has anyone seen this?

Shocking stuff altogether. Can't say I'm surprised.

Not surprised either, the amount of flytipping in my local area is shocking. There is just no excuse. I can't get over the people who will put an old washing machine in a car and dump it on a country lane when you can just as easily drive to Nenagh and dispose of it responsibly in Nenagh for free! I'm on a budget when it comes to waste disposal, I compost and go to the recycling centre (new charges aren't unreasonable), fiver for a large bag of general waste in Aes.
