Djouce Woods
Enniskerry, County Wicklow
Djouce Woods are located on the northern side of Djouce mountain with the Powerscourt Waterfall at its centre. The area is quite extensive and includes the coniferous woods to the east of the waterfall grounds and deciduous woodlands to the west. Part of Crone Woods and open ground southeast of Maulin and Djouce mountains are also included.
The map was produced in 1997 for the Leinster Championships that year and has been used a number of times each year since then. It has some good orienteering terrain although parts are quite steep. The area has “survived” well having avoided extensive felling, except for the Crone area. The forestry is owned by Coillte while the waterfall area is part of the Powerscourt Estate (restricted access).
Directions
From Enniskerry proceed past Powerscourt House toward Powerscourt Waterfall. Orienteering events may start at Crone car park or from the Long Hill car parks on the road to Roundwood. There will be local sign posting.
