The Railway Walk at Tinahely was opened in September 2007. It runs along part of the original train track from Woodenbridge to Shillelagh, alongside the Derry River and through some farmland.

It is 2.3km in length. The walk has some picnic tables along the way and a clearly defined path suitable for wheelchairs and sturdy buggies. Dogs must be kept on a leash. The Railway Walk ends at Tomnafinnoge Woods. There is a car park at both ends of the Railway Walk.

Railway Walk Extension: The Railway walk was extended by 2km toward Aughrim from Tinahely Railway Carpark in recent years.

Just outside the town of Tinahely, Tomnafinnoge Wood is a special area of conservation as one of the largest remaining oak woods in Ireland. This ancient woodland will bring you back in time. Giant oak trees dominate but you will encounter plenty more trees and plants on these walks.

Tomnafinnoge Woods offers three different walks of varying distance. The most popular is the River Walk of 2km (4km both ways). Shorter walks are the Oak Walk, 3.2km, and the Hazel walk, only 1.3km. Both of these walks are looped.

The woods are suitable for all walkers and provide a wonderful amenity for families. The forest itself, and the Derry River which meanders through it, teem with wildlife, kingfishers, frogs, brown trout, deer and even the elusive woodpecker have all been heard and seen in the forest.

There is ample car parking and the three trails are clearly signposted. The car park also serves this end of the Railway Walk, a linear walk that takes you 2.3km back towards Tinahely.
