Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Irish English Шаблон:Infobox forest Crone Woods, also Crone Forest, is located in the northeastern section of the Wicklow Mountains, just below the summit of Maulin Шаблон:Convert, in County Wicklow, Ireland.[1] Crone Woods have an extensive network of forest trails and hikes which can be accessed from the village of Enniskerry.[2]
Description
The woods were once part of the Powerscourt Estate with records from the 13th-century showing the area was set aside as a royal hunting ground.[1] Use of the woods for cover during the 1798 Rebellion led to the creation of the military road through northern Wicklow Mountains with several barracks to open up the region.[1] The forest is owned and operated by Coillte, the Irish state forestry agency.[1]
Trails in the wood include several to 'Ride Rock', from which there are views down into Powerscourt Waterfall. Other trails lead to the summit of Maulin.[2][3]
Crone Woods is an access point to the Wicklow Way, the oldest long-distance trail in the Republic of Ireland, which extends for Шаблон:Convert from its starting point in Marlay Park in South Dublin to Clonegal Village in County Carlow.[2] The wood is also used by hill-walkers completing the 16-kilometre loop of Maulin, Tonduff Шаблон:Convert, War Hill Шаблон:Convert and Djouce Шаблон:Convert, which is sometimes called the 'Circuit of Glensoulan'.[4]
