THE number of visitors to Curragh Chase Forest Park has trebled in the last 12 months, new figures have shown.
Data released by Coillte show that the numbers of people who visited the amenity at Kilcornan shot up by 194% – from 2,306 back in February 2020, to 6,789 at the end of the year.
The figures mean Curragh Chase was the seventh most-visited Coillte-operated Forest park in the country last year.
Unlike the current Level 5 restrictions, During December people were asked to restrict their movements and remain in their own county to halt the spread of Covid-19.
