Ardgillan park is unique among Dublin’s regional
parks for the magnificent views it enjoys of the coastline. A panorama, taking
in Rockabill Lighthouse, Colt Church, Shenick and Lambay Islands may be seen,
including Sliabh Foy, the highest of the Cooley Mountains, and of course the
Mourne Mountains can be seen sweeping down to the sea.
The park area is the property of Fingal County
Council and was opened to the public as a regional park in June 1985.
Preliminary works were carried out prior to the opening in order to transform
what had been an arable farm, into a public park. Five miles of footpaths were
provided throughout the demesne, some by opening old avenues, while others were
newly constructed. They now provide a system of varied and interesting woodland,
walks and vantage points from which to enjoy breath-taking views of the sea,
the coastline and surrounding countryside. A signposted cycle route through the
park since June 2009 means that cyclists can share the miles of walking paths
with pedestrians
