Ticknock offers up to 10 km of mountain and forest walks with some spectacular views of Dublin City, Dublin Bay, Bray Head and Wicklow Mountains.  The forest has an extensive network of forest trails with pleasant walks through the plantations of Sitka spruce, Japanese larch, Scots pine, Monterey pine and lodgepole pine.

The entrance to the property at 270 meters above sea level leads to the summit of the Three Rock Mountain (444 meters above sea level). The three large rock formations are the result of weathering and together with picturesque views over the Wicklow mountains and the coast create a very popular tourist destination. Two Rock Mountain (536 meters above the sea level) is the highest point along the Dublin Mountains Way National Long Distance Walking Route. The summit of Two Rock is crowned with a large cairn that is believed to cover a Neolithic passage tomb, a type of burial monument, image of Fairy Castle by Abarta Heritage. This cairn is known locally as ‘Fairy Castle’.

The walking paths in this area are of moderate difficulty. The main forest roads are easily accessible for children and people with lower level of fitness. Ticknock is a possible starting point for the Wicklow Way, many parts of which are strenuous for walking. When taking this yellow waymarked trail and venturing into the hills, visitors are advised to be equipped with waterproof clothing, strong shoes, a drink and a map of compass.

Walking trails in this forest include Fairy Castle Loop, Dublin Mountains Way and Wicklow Way.
