Barnaslingan Forest and Trails Closed until Further Notice

Due storm damage there is no access to Barnaslingan until further notice. Large fallen trees are blocking all of the recreation trails.

Update from the Coillte Nature Dublin Mountains Makeover Team: As a result for Storm Darragh, Barnaslingan Wood has suffered significant windblow through parts of the wood with many trees down and trails blocked and as a result will be closed until further notice.

Storm Daragh’s unusually severe north-westerly winds, along with its extended duration and gusting nature, has blown many trees in this lovely wood.  Coillte is assessing and mapping the impact to determine what resources are required to clean up the site so that it can be safely reopened.

We are working hard to return the woods to their recreational best. In the meantime, nearby forests at Ticknock and Carrickgollogan are available to visit until it is safe to use Barnaslingan again.
