The intersection of the Wicklow Way (WW) and the Dublin Mountain Way (DMW) near Fairy Castle in Ticknock is a crucial cross of paths for outdoor enthusiasts exploring Wicklow mountains. This area is marked by a 1 km overlap of the two trails on the slopes of Two Rock Mountain. The Wicklow Way, a 132 km route, offers breathtaking views as it traverses various landscapes, while the Dublin Mountain Way, a shorter but challenging 42 km trail, provides excellent hiking experiences from Tallaght to Shankill.

Fairy Castle itself, located at the summit of Two Rock Mountain, is an ancient Neolithic cairn dating back over 4,000 years, offering panoramic views of Dublin, the Wicklow Mountains, and the Irish Sea. The forest paths and rugged trails in this area make it a perfect spot for hikers, with well-maintained signage for navigation. However, certain parts of the trails, especially near Fairy Castle and Barnaslingan Wood, can be rocky, requiring careful attention to waymarkers.
