Beautiful parkland with thousands of varieties of trees, shrubs and flowers, trees from every country in the world and also every species of native Irish tree. Named in honour of John F. Kennedy whose family came from nearby. A beautiful spot to spend a few hours close to nature, also houses interesting exhibition on the life of JFK and other exhibits about the trees and history of the arboretum. Nice kids playground and plenty of picnic tables nearby to enjoy along with coffee van serving refreshments. Just across from entrance to park is the trail to viewing point of Slieve Coillte (3 km hike) or short drive with car park at summit. Absolutely amazing views looking out over six surrounding counties, well worth the short drive or if you’re feeling energetic the hike up.
