Hiking

Barnaslingan Wood is located on the eastern slope of The Scalp (which means crevice, chasm or chasm), one of the most spectacular natural spectacles in the Dublin area. This narrow, rocky pass, through which the old Dublin-Enniskerry road ran, was formed by the overflow of an Ice Age glacial lake. There are many granite boulders and boulders to be seen, especially on the forested east side of Barnaslingan.
