Wicklow Way Overview
The Wicklow Way is Irelands oldest waymarked trail, pioneered by famous hill walker, J.B. Malone. Its 44 miles reveal some of the most spectacular views in the country, from Irelands highest waterfall to discovering why the tranquil Lough Dan has gained the name Guinness Lake. The trail combines the natural splendour of Ireland with the rich history of its people to give a well rounded view of this beautiful country.
Your trip begins in the small town of Tinahely and takes you past some of the most striking scenery, through the long glacial Glenmalure Valley and with luck giving you glimpses of the multitude of wildlife abundant in this area. The walk is testament to the achievements of the people that live here, with Glenmalure being home to the 6th Century monastic city which was the seat of European learning for 6 centuries. With the magnificent Powerscourt and Guinness Estates on route as well, The Wicklow Way will spoil you with sites of both natural and manmade beauty.

Each is unique and offers the highest levels of welcome, atmosphere and outstanding local cuisine.

Is it for me?: This is a relatively easy walk suited for anyone with a good level of fitness. Several days involve ascent and descent and some of the trails are rough underfoot, but the walking days are quite short and the route is well waymarked.
