Glion Darragh

UK Wildlife Trusts

**Please note that Glion Darragh suffered extensive storm damage in both December 2024 and January 2025. As of 4th February 2025 all primary paths have now been reopened. Please note that large areas of conifers have suffered windblow, which presents a significant danger of injury away from these paths. For this reason, while the reserve has now reopened, visitors are required to remain on the paths throughout the reserve.** Lying in a remote valley with reminders of a historic past, Glion Darragh is predominantly a monoculture conifer plantation, but with exciting hints of its former vegetation shown through the presence of remnant oak-hazel woodland with associated woodland flora of interest, including Hairy Woodrush (Luzula pilosa). MWT will be restoring this species-poor conifer plantation back to temperate rainforest, the original vegetation cover of our Island, turning a degraded habitat into a haven for wildlife and people alike.
