Leader’s Note:

We last did this walk in July 2020. So it is well nigh time to do it again!! It is a very pleasant 14km/3.5 – 4 hr Easy Ramble with a loop route from Ashtown Visitors Centre over to the Papal Cross, down to the Magazine Fort, across by the cricket grounds to the Tea Rooms, around the People’s Flower Gardens and across to the Wellington Monument, out of the park and into the War Memorial Gardens, along the Liffey to Chapelizod, back into the Park and return to Ashtown Visitors Centre via the Furry Glen Pond and the Ordnance Survey. Hopefully we might have a close encounter with the deer as has happened on previous Phoenix Park walks.

Note:  Toilet facilities are open at the Ashtown Visitors Centre. Bring a sandwich for a pit stop along the way.

Please text leader John Coleman by Fri. 27th May if interested in going on the walk along with a mob. phone number for contact.
