点评:We visited today 14.08.25, and we were determined not to miss visiting this gem as only opens July and August.
We were so impressed by the lady at the entrance, who explained everything to us, and what a lovely person she is, very welcoming and friendly, She even came out of the kiosk at the end to chat to us re our experience of our walk.
And what an experience we had. First of all it is worth every penny of the small entry charge. Note they dont take cash , just card. The walk around the forest is NOT for anyone in a wheelchair, or with ANY walking difficulty. Plenty of steps, up and down, and difficult terrain to navigate at times. Wear comfortable shoes with good grips, and then just enjoy the experience. Its magical, You just have to go to experience it. The forest, with overhanging moss covered branches, wooden swing overlooking a wildflower meadow, little wooden seats and quirky interesting pieces around each corner,the sound of little brooks and streams, birdsong everywhere, and the piece de resistance, the fabulous waterfall and Orne cottage down in the glen. An absolute sight to behold. Reminds me of a Hansel and Gretal. setting. You would stand in awe to look at it. The whole forest and glen has plenty of seating areas and there is a lovely picnic area with about 7 picnic tables in the earlier part of the walk.We visited while the weather was beautiful but I probably wouldnt recommend kilfane if it was raining or had been raining, as the whole area and steps would be very slippy and dangerous. Also the signage is really bad throughout the forest, ie how to find the exit after being down in the valley, and the map didnt suffice, You need proper signage, as opposed to the tiny tiles and some broken along the way. There is no coffee shop here so bring a picnic.This truly was a magical day here today. Will definately be back next year.

入口处的女士给我们留下了深刻的印象,她向我们详细解释了一切,她人非常和蔼可亲,热情友好,甚至从尽头的售货亭出来和我们聊天,讲述我们这次徒步旅行的经历。
这真是一次难忘的经历。首先,这小额门票绝对物有所值。请注意,他们不收现金,只收卡。森林漫步不适合坐轮椅或行动不便的人。这里有很多台阶,需要上下移动,有时地形复杂,难以通行。穿上舒适、抓地力好的鞋子,尽情享受这段体验吧。这太神奇了,你一定要去体验一下。森林里,树枝上长满了青苔,木质秋千俯瞰着野花草甸,每个角落都有小木椅和古怪有趣的小玩意,潺潺溪水声,鸟儿鸣叫,最精彩的是峡谷中美丽的瀑布和奥恩小屋。绝对值得一看的景象。让我想起了汉塞尔和格莱特的场景。你会惊叹地站着看着它。整个森林和峡谷有很多座位区,在步行的早期部分有一个可爱的野餐区,大约有 7 张野餐桌。我们去的时候天气很好,但如果下雨或刚下过雨,我可能不会推荐基尔法恩,因为整个区域和台阶会非常滑和危险。此外,整个森林的指示牌很差,例如下到山谷后如何找到出口,地图也不够用,你需要正确的指示牌,而不是沿途那些小瓷砖和一些破损的指示牌。这里没有咖啡店,所以带点野餐吧。今天真是神奇的一天。明年一定还会再来。
