Itinerary description
Massy’s Estate is one of the most popular amenities around Dublin because of its visual and recreational value. It offers great views of flora, wildlife, tree species and heritage features belonging to the estate. The major forest road goes around the wood and it is called the Nature Trail.
A magnificent mansion once stood on this site and the remains of garden walls are still visible today. In the late 1930s, the Director of Forestry in Ireland, a German forester, Otto Reinard, laid out this area as an urban forest. A variety of European, American and Asian tree species was planted creating a perfect environment for many plants and animals.
