Ancient native oak woodland — one of the last of its kind in Ireland. A gentle circular walk under a leaf canopy that feels centuries old.

The most peaceful walk I've done in Ireland. The river sections are stunning — we'll be back for the full Wicklow Way next year.

Brought the kids and it was perfect — not too tough, enough to keep them interested. The audio tour added something really special.

Views from the top are worth every step. We had the whole ridge to ourselves on a Tuesday morning. One of those days you don't forget.
