Plans For Walking Trail Within Castletown House Lands Under Consideration Subject To Removal Of Laurel

The land marked yellow is being considered for a walking trail.

Cllr Declan Ryan (FG) has asked the council to discuss plans with the Office of Public Works (OPW) to establish a forest walk and nature trail.

Plans for a walking route through land owned by Kildare County Council at Castletown house are being explored by the council.

Cllr Declan Ryan (FG) has asked the council to discuss plans with the Office of Public Works (OPW) to establish a forest walk and nature trail.

In response, council officials said they have entered discussions with the OPW to create a walking route through a portion of land within the demesne. 

They cautioned, however, that the preparation of such plans would be subject to the removal of laurel within the woodland to facilitate the "completion of a topographical survey and a conservation plan for the woodlands".
