Glendalough
National park
👍👍 Amazing scenery, but be ready for the weather changes: it changes so quickly and so often. We had sun, light rain, heavy shower back to sun, then a shower, sun, extremely heavy rain all within one hour. The pink walk alongside the main falls is well worth doing with a good wide path. (Brown is hard...

👍👍 Lovely beach to enjoy one's coffee 😉 Awesome view from the hotel if you spend the night. Tasty food they serve as well. It can be packed but definitely worth visiting.

Sugarloaf Hill
Hiking area
👍👍 Afternoon hike with the kids (15, 8 and 6) all well able for it. A small amount of easy climbing at the top. Just wish people would clean up after themselves. We collected and brought home a bag of rubbish - it’s a difficult call for county council to provide bins or not as some people abuse them.

The Great Sugar Loaf
Hiking area
👍👍 Three ways of getting to the top. Long long steep walk, shorter steepish walk and a short walk from the car park. Im 68 and my athletic son took me up the long long way - fantastic sights but its TOUGH. Choose your route wisely - well worth a visit. On next visit I took the "short route" and had en...

Massy's Estate Forest
Hiking area
👍 The walk itself is beautiful but not very well signposted. Part of it would be suitable for buggy's/ wheelchairs but when you get further down into the forest it gets rockier. Seems to be mainly used by dog walkers and is suitable for off leash dogs that are well behaved as long as you don't bother...

Bog of Frogs Loop image

Bog of Frogs Loop
Hiking area
👍👍 Best one in Dublin so far! Picturesque and enchanting trail. Not too steep or strenuous. Wild spring flora along the path with grand views of the Dublin Bay, cliffs and lighthouse. Rocky view points on way, perfect for little breaks, to take in the view. Most of the cliff path is narrow but quite sa...

Djouce Woods (Long Hill)
Hiking area
👍👍 Djouce has some great trails criss-crossing throughout the woods. In my opinion, many of these trails are not for beginners. So if you are inexperienced then you should go with someone who knows the trails or just go elsewhere! I often bring my dog here and thankfully there are normally a few water...

Carrawaystick Waterfall
Hiking area
👍👍 Been there twice recently with my good buddy travel adventure companion/mentor MRC. We hiked up to the summit through the zig zag trail and descended alongside the waterfalls. We enjoyed the breathtaking panoramic view of the Glenmalure valley, had a quick dip at one of the many small pools of the w...

Glen Ding Forest
Hiking area
😐 The Glen Ding Forest can be found close to the village of Blessington, nearby the Blessington Greenway. The forest is known for its sand and gravel quarrying, which was halted in 1997 due to its archaeological interest by the National Monuments and Historical Properties Service. The hill on which t...

👍 We came for a 2 night stay and had a lovely time. It’s in a beautiful place, the food and wine was excellent and worth the trip. The accommodation is comfortable but the food is definitely the main attraction! We really appreciated the relaxed atmosphere which makes it easy to enjoy the experience w...

Powerscourt Waterfall Entrance
Hiking area
👍👍 The journey to the waterfall itself was pretty fantastic, surrounded by sheep-dotted fields, inviting green hills, and a lovely display of local plant life. When I finally arrived, I was stoked to see how well taken care of everything was – clean and clear pathways, enough parking, and a cozy café t...

Slade Valley
Hiking area
👍👍 First time here. Despite going in one gate, coming out another & having to get a lift off kind strangers to collect our cars to pick up the walkers, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Enveloped in nature. The spruces smell of citrus & the forest floor, in places is a lush mossy green, at other spots, covered...
