Itinerary description

On our second day in the Woodenbridge Hotel, we had a couple of hours to spare so we did a short walk in the local area. Again we started at the hotel, crossed the bridge, taking a right turn at the local Petrol Station. Shortly after we turned left at Highfield House into a back lane-way. To our surprise we came across a half a dozen pheasants. Shortly after we disturb some 50 or 60 pheasants, and then hundreds. I was an extraordinary experience walking along a lane with big birds feeding on both sides, only to be disturbed when we came really near. Later we discovered that there are many Pheasant breeding centres in the area. A pleasant short walk, or should I say - A very Pheasant Walk.
El segundo día en el Hotel Woodenbridge, que con sus 400 años, presume de ser el Hotel más antiguo de Irlanda, tuvimos unas horas libres. Decidimos hacer una ruta corta por los alrededores. De nuevo empezamos en el hotel, cruzamos el puente, girando a la derecha donde la Gasolinera. Poco después tomamos un caminito a la izquierda donde está Highfield House. Qué sorpresa! topamos con una media docena de faisanes. Poco después estorbamos unos 50 ó 60, y luego cientos. Ha sido una experiencia increíble el andar con estos aves gallináceas pastando a los dos lados del camino. Luego nos contaron que hay numerosas granjas de faisanes en la zona que sueltan los pájaros para comer y luego vuelvan a sus jaulas. Un camino corto y agradable. ¿La ruta de los Faisanes?
