The proposed €19m tourism project would see a visitors centre and exhibition space, panoramic café, toilets, changing facilities, walkers’ lounge and an education centre.
The emerging proposal also includes a tree-top walk between the Hell Fire and Massy’s, car and coach park facilities, improved trail network with signage and minimal conservation works both at the Hell Fire Club and Massy’s Estate.
