Discover a week of exploration through Dublin and the Wicklow Mountains, perfect for those seeking slower, less challenging hikes combined with added comforts. Just south of Dublin, follow Ireland’s oldest waymarked trail through glacial valleys, tranquil forests, and the lush “Garden of Ireland.” Spend an afternoon at the iconic Glendalough, a historic monastic site nestled in breathtaking surroundings, where history and natural beauty intertwine. Hike directly above the serene Lough Tay, affectionately called Guinness Lake, its dark waters framed by dramatic hills. Evenings promise indulgence and comfort, whether you’re staying at the renowned Powerscourt Hotel, with its stunning Sugar Loaf Mountain views and exquisite dining, or the charming BrookLodge & Macreddin Village, home to Ireland’s first organic restaurant. Warm Irish hospitality greets you at every step, while seamless transfers to/from the trail ensure a hassle-free experience.
