Erriff Wood: A Photographic Gem. 🌳🌳

“Let us go in; the fog is rising.”

Emily Dickinson.

Tucked away on the main road between Westport and Leenaun lies a hidden treasure for photography enthusiasts – Erriff Wood. This small oak wood is a rare find, boasting hundreds of Sessile oak trees thriving in their natural habitat. What's more, the good news is that you can freely explore this remarkable location without the need for permission.

My rendezvous with Erriff Wood was nothing short of enchanting. The recent spell of hot weather had conjured up a mesmerizing low fog, creating the perfect setting for moody, atmospheric photographs. Waking up early to capture the woods shrouded in thick fog was a must, as the ethereal ambiance created a unique opportunity for captivating shots. As the golden light of morning dispersed the fog, it offered a captivating chance to photograph the majestic trees and delicate ferns in their full glory. 

Erriff Wood isn't just a photographic gem; it's a living testament to the unparalleled beauty of nature. Whether you're a photography enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the wonder of the great outdoors, a visit to Erriff Wood is bound to leave you spellbound.
