Blue Trail


(Average user rating: unrated unrated)

The Blue Trail is a 2 mile walk exploring the hidden oasis that is Phoenix Park. The trail leads you through the low level areas of the site up to the woodland and grassland habitats that are home to a rich diversity of wildlife. From the top of the hill you can take a well earned rest and take in the breathtaking views across South Yorkshire
