Sightseeing
The Hell Fire Club is only a 5 min drive from us, or for the more energetic about an hours walk. It is a steep walk up to the top from the carpark, but definitively worth it for the view. 1hr walk from us.

Massys Woods is one of our favourite areas to walk. There is a lovely looped walking trail in the wood. The Nature Trail (1.5kms, 45mins, easy) is a gentle stroll through the forest taking in all the old trees that belonged to the estate and also some of the old heritage features along the way, walled garden, bridges, saw mill ruins and ice house. It is 4 min drive or 40 min walk to Massys Woods.

Trinity is Ireland's oldest and highest-ranking university. The Grand Library (with the Book of Kells) is a tourist favourite, but often needs per-booked to avoid disappointment.
