  From the parking area at Cloon forest property, you can visit the Oak Glen, a project started in 1990 with with Crann to restore oak to the Glencree valley where there was a Royal forest park in the 13th century. Most of the old oaks of Glencree were felled. To increase broadleaf tree cover, Crann planted new oak trees in the Glencree valley in the early 1990s. For a short walk, start at the entrance opposite the car park at Coillte's Cloon Wood on the Enniskerry-Glencree road. Stroll down a wide path. Evergreen trees are felled and vistas open-up across the valley to Maulin. Take care as forestry operations may be dangerous. Continue downhill and turn left into Oak Glen. Its origins and layout are explained on the notice board. The main path continues down to the river. A tall fence protects the Oak Glen from deer but a high style facilitates access to a riverside track. Retrace your steps back to the car park. The route is ideal for an afternoon ramble. As days lengthen, continue to hike in Cloon Wood on the opposite side of the main road. At the head of the valley, the Glencree This walk embraces the essence of the Wicklow mountains. The sounds of bird song, rushing water, wind rustling through oak and evergreen trees. Amazing place to ground your self with nature. My wide and I enjoyed every moment spent on this beautiful walk.
