    Kids collect conkers every year.

    Brasscock church as said above. Also old road up to ballygunner village. Just after you turn up at becketts pub the old road is into the left used to be few trees uo there. Wouldn't be many people going up there as its cul de sac now so id say should be plenty of conkers. Woods down behind ballinakill downs has few chestnutt trees as well. i think

    The Brasscock church is the usual place I get the conkers, yesterday when I passed in the car there was loads on the ground. They are all gone today and in the church grounds too.
    I will try the cul de sac on the left.
    Thank you.
