Knocksink Wood

A very nice woodland walk — quite short and easy without and major hills. The Glencullen river runs along side with a couple of little waterfalls and bridges. Very well signposted and with a big car park

My return to Knocksink Wood really surprised me, it’s not the same place I remember.
To find it, as you drive down into Enniskerry via the Monastery Road, you will see the wooden sign by the entrance. If on a Dublin bus, I would say its the second stop after you pass the stop at the closed down Texaco garage.
About a mile in off the road is a car park and an education centre. This was all new to me and both great additions to the woods. We didn’t go into the centre, so cannot comment on that. I should have though and I will next time I am back.
The trails that are marked out are very even and safe, for anyone who prefers a safe stroll. There appears to have been some work done to make these paths quite safe, especially a long parts of the river bank. For the more adventurous there are some paths that deviate from the main foot paths, but prepare to get a bit muddy.
The Glencullen river runs through the woods and this is really the highlight of the woods. The view and sound of the river is a tonic. Of all the dogs being brought for a walk here, there was many of them enjoying a dip in the river. In fact the whole woods is perfect for dog walking. They all seemed to be really enjoying their walkies.
It was a Sunday afternoon in March and by the time we were leaving, at about 15:30, the car park was getting very busy.
I look forward to going back for another walk in the woods.
