Donadea

Donadea Forest Park is a 243-hectare mixed woodland estate situated in northwest County Kildare, Ireland, managed by Coillte, the Irish Forestry Service. The park encompasses the historic demesne of the Anglo-Norman Aylmer family, who occupied the castle from 1550 until 1935, creating a unique blend of natural beauty and rich historical heritage. Today Donadea offers visitors a peaceful retreat with waymarked trails, a tranquil lake, and atmospheric castle ruins set within mature woodland that has evolved over centuries of aristocratic stewardship.
