Warrenscourt comprises 110 hectares of gently sloping woodland with a northerly aspect overlooking the Buingea river. There are two entrances to the forest one at Warrenscourt and the other at Kilmurry. 


Near the Warrenscourt entrance there is a nice grassy area boarding the river. This area also has some giant poplars reaching 30 meters towards the sky. The heart of the forest has some lovely forest run however it is interspersed with areas of impenetrable undergrowth. One of the more impressive features in the wood are the very large boulders see if you spot them on your travels.
