Liffey Vale House and Gardens

Liffey Vale House is a Georgian protected structure on the banks of the River Liffey at Longmeadows. It is being transformed into a biodiversity and education centre.

Dublin City Council is developing this site as a model for rewilding and sustainable landscape management, where nature is gently guided to reclaim the space.

Plans include:

  • A multi-purpose learning space, café, and public amenities.
  • Interpretation on local biodiversity and river ecology.
  • Universal access through woodland, wetland, and riverside paths.
  • A mix of wild and accessible zones, allowing nature to thrive with minimal intervention.

The project will reconnect people with the Liffey Valley’s rich ecosystems and heritage, offering immersive experiences in a rewilded urban landscape.
