Marl Bog

Marl Bog lies near Dundrum in County Tipperary, a wetland site in the rolling countryside of the county’s mid-west.

Bogs and marl wetlands like this hold plant and insect life found in few other habitats, and the quieter margins draw waterfowl and other birds through the year. Walking routes in the area let you take in the wet grassland, reeds and surrounding woodland at an unhurried pace. Bring boots and binoculars, keep to marked paths where they exist, and expect the ground to be soft after rain.
