John F Kennedy Arboretum

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:13:42

This beautiful woodland park, dedicated to the memory of JFK, has 4500 species of trees and shrubs spread across 252 hectares of woods and gardens. Walking trails lead to Slieve Coillte (270m) where, on a clear day, you can gaze out over six counties. The park has a small visitor centre, a tea room (May to September) and a picnic area; a miniature train tootles around in the summer months. It's 12km south of New Ross, signposted off the R733.
