About Uragh Wood
Uragh Wood, known in Irish as Tearmann Dulra Choill na hIurai, is an 87-hectare national nature reserve located in the Tuosist area of County Kerry on the Beara Peninsula. Designated as a nature reserve in 1982, this small but precious remnant of ancient oakwood occupies the shores of Inchiquin Lough in one of Ireland's most remote and scenic landscapes. The reserve protects one of Ireland's finest examples of Atlantic oceanic woodland, a habitat that was once widespread across western Ireland and Scotland but has been reduced to scattered fragments by centuries of clearance and overgrazing.
