The Wicklow Way was the first long-distance walking trail to be
established in Ireland. Coming in at 130km (81 miles), the route
traverses the county of Wicklow, from Marlay Park on the outskirts
of Dublin to Clonegal, just over the county border in neighbouring
Carlow, and can be comfortably completed in a week. The guide also
details several adjacent trails that can be interchanged with the
main route, and short detours off-route (also described) lead to
welcoming villages offering accommodation and a range of other
facilities. The route is presented in seven stages, each with an
overview followed by clear route description and mapping. There are
elevation profiles and notes on local points of interest. In
addition to background information about the county's history,
geology, plants and wildlife, you will find all the information you
need to walk the route, with helpful advice on transport,
accommodation and kit. Accommodation listings, useful contacts and
a glossary of Irish place-names can be found in the appendices.
Wicklow is a county of varied landscapes: mountains and sweeping
uplands offer extensive views, whereas other stages take you
through verdant glens and past scenic lakes. The area is rich in
both culture and history, with the ancient Monastic City at
Glendalough a special highlight. And of course, there are
characterful villages and pubs where you can experience true Irish
hospitality. The Wicklow Way has plenty to commend it and is a
great way to explore this wonderful county.
