WICKLOW WALKING TOUR IRELAND - 5-DAY CHALLENGING        

    

DAY 1: Transfer to Rathdrum

From your point of arrival, use the public transport information we provide to make the journey to Rathdrum.

DAY 2: Iron Bridge to Laragh • Distance 28.5km (30.5km via Spink) • Walking Time 6 – 7.5 hours • Max Height 600m

You will be transferred to the Iron Bridge to start your walk. The trail soon climbs steeply upwards to Borenacrow Saddle. From the saddle, you can choose to descend into Glendalough either along the Wicklow Way or to take the longer, but arguably more beautiful route via the Spink.

After crossing the Glenmacnass River you make your way up Paddock Hill then down into Oldbridge. If the weather is good, take the opportunity to climb Scarr Mountain (641m). Another short climb takes you past Powerscourt Waterfall on your right before you head down into Crone Woods.

DAY 4: Enniskerry to Marlay Park • Distance 22km • Walking Time 5 – 6.5 hours  • Max Height 488m

After passing around the side of Knockree Hill, you climb up and over the shoulder of a mountain known as Prince William's Seat. Take a last look back at the Wicklow Mountains before your tour ends on a lovely trail through Marlay Park.

Day 5: Depart from Marlay Park

There are regular buses to both Dublin City Centre and Dublin Airport. Your host will provide you with all the necessary details.
