Blessington offers from walks and trails to exciting water activities on the lakes. Blessington is a gem with walking routes catering for everyone from the casual walker to the amateur hiker. For all walking levels and age groups, Blessington has the greenway for non-motorised journeys. Our 5.5km Greenway connects the pretty town of Blessington with 18th-century mansion, Russborough House.

If you like hiking, get on your hiking boots and discover some fantastic hiking places around Wicklow mountains, Black hill, Seefin Passage Tomb. This is a great way to immerse yourself in nature and get to know the Wicklow mountains.

The weekly parkrun event encourages social cohesiveness in the community which takes place every Saturday morning at 9.30 am in Russborough house. There are no registration or participation fees to join in a parkrun. This is only applicable if you want a recorded time.

If so, you need to register in advance and bring with you the required barcode which you will download after your registration. After the event, volunteers, runners and walkers meet in the cafe for a chat after the run. If you want to know the community, this event is for you.
