South Barrule Forest

Type:Forest

South Barrule Forest

About

Consisting of 128 hectares, South Barrule Forest is one of the Island's most popular woodlands for outdoor adventure, leisure activities and is a convenient gateway to neighbouring forests and hill land.

Popular with walkers, horse riders and families, the forest also features a number of purpose built mountain bike trails and a skills area where riders can hone their riding techniques.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is indebted to a number of local volunteer groups and organisations who have considerably helped with amenity improvements including trail building, path improvements and conservation projects.

Please remember that forests are working environments, with forestry operations taking place on a regular basis. Access may be restricted for felling work or during sporting events and visitors should follow safety signage at all times.
