Dublin Mountains. The townland of Tiknock is in the electoral division of Dundrum, and has an area of approximately 2.6 square kilometres (1.0 sq mi).[2]
There are a number of walking and biking trails in the locality,[3][4] including in the Ticknock Forest amenity which is managed by Coillte.[5][6] Described as one of Coillte's "most popular" and most visited sites,[7] during 2020 Coillte replanted a number of sections of the commercial coniferous woodland at Ticknock with native deciduous trees.[8][9]
Originally a largely rural area at the foot of Three Rock Mountain, a number of housing developments were built in the area (between the townland and the M50 motorway to the north) in the early 21st century.[10][11]
