Cruagh Wood

Coillte’s Cruagh Wood is located on the slopes of Cruagh Mountain. From viewpoints along its walking trails and the carpark there are commanding views to Dublin Bay and the nearby Hell Fire Club Forest and on a clear day the Cooley and Mourne Mountains are visible. Cruagh Wood has a number of walking trail options, including the 3.9 km Slí na Sláinte trail, that follows the forest roads through this mostly coniferous woodland.
