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...

Miners Village
Tourist attraction
👍👍 A nice walk from the upper car park, if you go up the path to top of the water fall is about 5k, and 40 flights, a bit rocky so you would want decent shoes or boots for the last bit up the water fall.

Another one and the most enjoyable was holding a lamb 🥰. Even th...

The Spinc
Hiking area
👍👍 Today, i took the Red route. It's an amazing trek through the forest/woodlands, but it's also a very long and difficult walk... about 13km (3 hours). Lots of wildlife to see, too, depending on the day. I will do the white route next time.
