Wicklow Way Four Day Itineary
We’ll meet you at Dublin airport and bring you to Wicklow and your first night’s accommodation. Enniskerry is a charming little village and is home to Powerscourt House and Gardens, considered one of Europe’s finest house and gardens. A gentle walk to Knocksink forest should help warm you up for the first stage of the Wicklow Way tomorrow. There is a good choice of pubs and places to eat in the village.
Today’s walk (19km, 600m ascent) will delight the senses with breathtaking views of North Wicklow. Ascending over Crone Mountain you descend into the “secret valley” before skirting Djouce and White Hill (Wicklow Way’s highest point) with its delightful views over Lough Tay. Tonight we stay at Oldbride near Roundwood and Lough Dan lake.Today’s walk should take about five hours including stops.
Today’s walk (10km, 250m ascent), takes you to the highlight of the Wicklow Way, the Glendalough Valley. After breakfast you hike south towards the Laragh Valley. Views on the left are of the Avoca Valley in the distance. After an hour from your guesthouse we start to ascend Paddock Hill and are treated to a stunning view over Laragh and towards Glendalough. Traversing the base of Brockagh we arrive in Glendalough. Our accommodation here tonight is uniquely located. It is very peaceful and you really feel in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains. Glendalough has an upper and lower lake and the upper lake has a spiritual quality that is appreciated by many visitors. The walk from Roundwood takes about 3 hours leaving you with plenty of time to enjoy the scenic surroundings, the visitors centre, take a stroll along the lower lake or head up to Laragh’s craft shops and great pub. There is agood choice of places to dine in the area.
Take your time after breakfast to further explore the Glendalough Valley. This morning you can enjoy the classic Spink Walk over the Glendalough Lakes. It is about a 3 hours walk but can be shortened. Whenever you are ready, we will come and collect you and bring you to Rathdrum train station where you can take the train north back towards Dublin or south towards Rosslare or Wexford. If you are staying in Dublin, we would be delighted to advise on places to stay, eat and visit.
