Vartry Resevoir, Roundwood

Head down the N11 and follow signs for Roundwood. Not far outside the village you can park in a layby on the side of the road and head through the gates to the resevoir. It’s a great place for a bike or a scooter as well. There are lovely views and a number of walks of varying length and difficulty you can do. Plenty of space to run and explore and a chance to see plenty of wildlife, including woodpeckers if you’re lucky.

Take a picnic and enjoy a day out for free or stop in Roundwood village on the way back and check out one of their pubs or cafes.
