Beautiful 6.8km easy woodland walking trail close to Curracloe beach. There is a loop walk down the Raven forest to the very end and then around the point and back up the beach. Alternatively you can just walk down the raven wood as far as you wish and turn back toward the entrance and car park. There is a pop up coffee shop at weekends at the entrance opposite the car park
