The Railway Walk
Flat, family-friendly loop along the old Shillelagh railway line. Bluebells in spring, stone arches, tea at the end.
Tomnafinogue Woods
Ancient native oak woodland — one of the last in Ireland. A gentle circle under a centuries-old canopy.
Mangans Loop
Big views of the Derry River valley, mixed forestry and open hillside. Proper half-day walk.
Kyle Loop
Short loop through the hills above Tinahely. Quiet lanes, working farmland, a viewpoint over the whole valley.
The Spinc & Glenealo Valley
Boardwalked climb to the cliff-top above the Upper Lake, then down through an old miners' village. Unforgettable.
Miners' Road (Green Trail)
Flat lakeside amble to the ruined lead mines at the head of the valley. Suits buggies and anyone short on energy.
Poulanass Waterfall (Blue Trail)
Short uphill to a hidden waterfall above the monastic city. Great introduction for first-time visitors.

Formal Italian gardens, Japanese garden, pet cemetery and a view straight down onto the Sugar Loaf.
Djouce Mountain Loop
A proper mountain with a proper reward — the whole sweep of Lough Tay and the Sugar Loaf in one shot.
The Great Sugar Loaf
The pointy one you see from the M11. Short, sharp scramble to a 360-degree view of Wicklow and Dublin Bay.
Lugnaquilla via Glen of Imaal
Ireland's highest peak outside Kerry. Big, exposed, weather-dependent. Don't go without a map.
Ballinastoe Boardwalk
A beautiful timber boardwalk above the forestry, with an eye-line straight onto Lough Tay.
Devil's Glen & Waterfall
A hidden wooded gorge ending in a curtain-style waterfall. Sculpture trail along the way.
Lough Tay & Luggala Viewpoint
Short stroll to the lake made famous as Vikings' Kattegat — and a view that stops people mid-sentence.
Avondale Forest Park — Pine Forest Trail
Old-growth conifers, the Parnell family home, and a canopy treetop walk (separate ticket).
Glenmalure Valley Walk
Walk to the head of Ireland's longest glacial valley. End at Barravore with a picnic.
Bray to Greystones Cliff Walk
The best coastal walk in Leinster. DART there, DART back. Dolphins if you're lucky.
Kindlestown Wood Loop
Quiet, handsome woodland loop above Greystones. Good year-round, especially after a wet spell.

Little-known hill with massive views across east Wicklow and the Irish Sea.
Croghan Mountain
Cross-border with Wexford. A remote, gorse-covered hill with views of three counties.
Vale of Clara Nature Reserve
Ancient sessile oak woodland along the Avonmore — a proper rarity in Ireland.
Knocknacloghoge (Napoleon's Nose)
The dramatic pointed lump that rises above Lough Tay. One of Wicklow's most photographed shapes.

A heart-shaped corrie lake and Wicklow's third-highest peak. Weather-dependent, wonder-guaranteed.
