We reached deep into the archive to pull out a walk from 2013. This walk takes you along the Betty Kenny Trail and is perfect for our four legged friends. Although there is one section where you need to be careful as their is a sharp drop-off. The story of Betty Kenny is a local legend dating back to the 18th Century. It is claimed that Betty (actual name Kate Kenyon) and her husband Luke were charcoal burners who often lived in the Shining Cliff Woods under the shade of a particular Yew tree. It was in this tree that Betty used to rock her children to sleep singing them ‘rock-a-bye baby’ and it is often puported that this is where the nursery rhyme originated.

The route will take around 2 hours There are some moderate climbs and the terrain can be muddy and uneven so a good pair of boots are a must. The path is well marked by posts with a white stripe.
