Mountain trails, glacial valleys, and Ireland's garden county

Rounded mountains, deep glacial valleys, blanket bog, and extensive forests create a landscape shaped by ice, water, and time. Located south of Dublin in eastern Ireland, Wicklow Mountains National Park protects the largest upland area in the country, offering a network of routes through some of Ireland's most accessible and rewarding mountain scenery.

Long-distance trails such as the Wicklow Way pass through the national park, linking places including Glendalough, Laragh, Roundwood, Glenmalure, and the surrounding uplands. Mountain tracks, forest paths, boardwalks, and valley trails reveal changing views across lakes, waterfalls, heather-covered hills, and open moorland, creating journeys closely connected to the landscape and its natural history.

Whether following the Wicklow Way, exploring the monastic valley of Glendalough, or walking the quieter trails through the mountains, Wicklow rewards time spent on foot. Changing weather, expansive scenery, and a remarkable sense of escape close to the capital make it one of Ireland's most rewarding destinations for self-guided travel.
