Tree covered walks in Dublin

expectationlost

with this hot for Irish weather Im looking for cooling tree covered/lined walks of atleast 5km



Malahide park seems to be the best I've gone there a a few times although the north side isn't tree covered, would they ever make it so? http://omaps.worldofo.com/index.php?id=110489


I normally just walk the coastal path but I'll try in St Annes this week, I guess if you exit the park and go around Sybill hill... it does mention http://www.dublincity.ie/main-menu-services-recreation-culture-dublin-city-parks-visit-park/st-annes-park

Ongoing boundary improvements include the phased construction of a tarmac perimeter pathway system.

Not a park but Griffith Avenue has the shade.

St Annes if you loop around the paths radiating from the Duck pond should have tree cover most of the time but you might have to double back.

Good chunk of it would be shaded.

Not northside, but Massey's Estate in the Dublin mountains is pretty much entirely under tree cover. 5 minutes from Firhouse exit on the M50.

If you walk along the inner pedestrian path of the main avenue of Phoenix Park - Chesterfield Avenue (not the cycle path that many pedestrians disobey), it is pretty much shaded most of the way on both side and you'd get a good 5k walk out of it.

The path to the north of the park (inside the wall that lines Blackhorse Avenue/Hole in The Wall) is pretty much fully shaded this time of year also and you'd get a few kms out of it in a walk.

You might get a few exposed meters here and there without shade but that's not going to give you sunstroke.
