Jenkinstown Forest park in County Kilkenny is one of my most loved Local places, the walks around the Forest here are amazing at anytime of the year but just now the leaves are starting to turn golden yellow and fall after a frost or period of high wind.

The Jenkinstown estate has a long history and the below image shows the castle that once stood here until at least the time this image was taken during 1930.

Part of the castle still stands and acts as a home for a local musician.

The park contains some great old buildings such as the round store house and animal shelter that these days offers a great place to read or shelter from a shower on a wet day.
