Union Wood was formerly part of the Cooper Estate and is now managed by Coillte. A forest area teeming with wildlife and biodiversity with incredible views from the top of Union Rock over Ballisodare and Sligo

An area of old Oak woodland is fenced off from deer the adjoining trail links into the Sligo way and has some lovely views of Knocknarea (supposed burial place of Queen Maedbh of Connacht), the Ox mountain range of West Sligo and the landscape of Sligo/Leitrim to the east.
