The Dublin a
nd Wicklow Mountains
are a great place to enjoy a really good walk.. They are spoilt with an abundance of different terrain including valleys ,rivers ,streams open moorland, forested areas, lakes, waterfalls, mountains, coast walks and much more. They are within an hours travel from the center of Dublin, the largest populated area in the country so it couldn't be any easier.
We like to organise the walks in the most scenic parts of the two counties and offer plenty of knowledge given by the local guide.
An example of a walk taken is an available pick up from Dublin transported to Glendalough in the heart of co. Wicklow, a quick briefing of the walk ahead and some safety tips. Then the walk is taken at an easy pace to suit the group , depending on the numbers attending there may be a choice of walk easy, moderate or difficult. We will then take the trail up through the forested area of Glendalough and onto the Spinc overlooking the Upper lake and a stop for lunch to enjoy the incredible views and relax. Then it's back on the trail and return to the starting point.
After the walks we invite people to join us for a cuppa of whatever they fancy and then return to Dublin.
As there are numerous places in dublin and Wicklow for enjoyable 1 day or half day walks, we like to keep them very varied to include places such as Djouce, the Wicklow Way, seefin, Blessington lakes, Powerscourt to name just a few.
Most of the walks taken in the Dublin and Wicklow mountains are suitable for the novice walker but there are still great areas to challenge the more experienced walkers.
So come along and have a great day out. Look forward to seeing you.
