The Upper Glenasmole Car Park (Castlekelly) is one of the most serene gateways to the Dublin Mountains area. An elongated, quiet nature reserve in a narrow valley south of Dublin, where the paths run completely car-free along two large reservoirs. The landscape alternates between open water, pine forest, rugged hillsides, and wide views towards the Dublin Mountains. The gravel paths are flat and clear, ideal for a peaceful start to a tour. Along the banks, you often see herons, ducks, and sometimes deer higher up on the slopes.
