    By far the safest would be to park in the Kippure Estate car park, about 500m in from the entrance at Kippure Bridge. They don't mind, but they appreciate it if you just pop your head in the door and say hi.

    Kippure Estate charge for parking, its €5 per day. I don't mind this as there is some security there. I sometimes park at the T Junction near Kilbride camp or at the Athdown forrest entrance, the car park is closed most of the time, but a couple of cars will fit on the roadside there. But you take your chances, where ever you park leave nothing at all in your car!:mad:

    I've never heard of them charging before, is this a recent thing? Last time we were there, they said we were welcome to park there for free, but asked that we pop our heads round the door of the stone building by the car park to let them know we were there, that's all.

    No problem, I don't begrudge them the income, and if it means I come back to an intact car then all the better.
