Old Military / Cruagh Road Junction Parking?

at1withmyself

Anyone know if I could park here safely for a few hours and go for a cycle from here and somewhere near by? Will be in Dublin at weekend but not staying the night and usually would leave car at accommodation. Any suggestions or advice appreciated?

Do you mean the viewing point car park.

Lots of rear window smashing tea leaves around there unfortunately. Park up somewhere more public down the bottom of the hill in Firhouse or Knocklyon and cycle up the hill I'd say.

Park in enniskerry, Johnny foxes, kilternan, roundwood and you'll be good with plenty of routes available

Wouldn't park there myself. As fat bloke says you'll often see glass on the ground. Same for most 'beauty spots' I'm afraid.

Thanks for all the replies, I'm not familiar with the area, is there a public car park in Enniskerry? I'm happy to park on road side or anything like that once the car is still in tact a few hours later ;-)

Something like a church or school would be good?

Depending on what time you get there, and what the weather is like etc, etc. you may find on street parking in the village itself, otherwise there's a small car park on the road immediately on your right as you enter Enniskerry from the N11.

If you were specifically looking for close to Old Military / Cruagh Road then you could use the Lidl in Ballycullen.

It's at the bottom of Gunny Hilly and then you have easy access to Stocking Lane, Cruagh etc.

I live near by and all the housing estates in that locale are safe too. You could even use the car park at Scholars pub/shops.

That Lidl is ideal IMO.
