The Ruined Dunmore Park Manor is clearly visible to the east of the access road. The wood consists of hectares in total, hectares of which are made up of high-yielding Sitka spruce planted in Approximately hectares of Sitka spruce has recently been felled and the land has been intentionally left unplanted so that a purchaser has control over how the site is restructured. The property has an impressive record of producing extremely fast growing spruce crops. The remaining hectares create a most attractive mixed woodland of great variation, including large Douglas fir, an impressive stand of mature Scots pine, ancient yew, Monkey Puzzle, larch and mixed broadleaves, many of which are specimen trees. In addition, the property has 3 ponds and a hermit s cave/ ice house, which adds to the overall beauty and diversity of the property.
