A unique opportunity to see the entire skeleton of a fin whale which beached locally in January 2009. Over 65 feet long with the jaw being 18 feet long, this is an awe inspiring sight. There is a picnic area and it is a lovely area for woodland walks. There is also a Slí na Sláinte walk along the tidal mudflats which is a special area of conservation.
