A Masterplan is currently being finalised, which will outline how Dowth National Park will be operated and managed in the coming years. It is intended that the draft Masterplan will be issued for public consultation later this year. Once the Masterplan is adopted, a phased approach to providing access to the National Park will be put in place.
