This Family Friendly Forest Walk was very kindly shared by @talesoftrails.ie …

We started at Pier Gates Carpark at brú Coffee @brucoffeewicklow There is a gate over in the corner opposite the entrance and this is where we started the walk into the forest (I had read online to start here if you wanted to do the boardwalk in the forest).

We followed the yellow signs all the way up to the JB Memorial stone and turned back part of the way before turning right into one of the car parks on this map and walking back to where we parked. **This is along a fairly busy road for about 500metres.

A beautiful forest walk followed by a beautiful hike up the the stone. The kids really enjoyed the boardwalk. The whole walk was approx 5km.
